Monique and the Mango Rains Opportunity

Back in May I read, loved, and reviewed “Monique and the Mango Rains.” It was even my top pick for the month. Well, Natasha at Maw Books just reviewed it as well. Not only that, but she is offering an opportunity for us to make a difference in the village where Monique and Kris worked. For every person who comments on her review she will donate $1 to the clinic, up to $50, which is enough to buy a set of medical instruments. Check it out here.

Edit: Let me know you commented on Natasha’s blog (and found her post through me) and I’ll match her donation from your comment.
