Introducing Kids Klash!
September 14, 2008 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
In all of the recent excitement over the last couple of months about our internship program, expanding partnerships in the US, and, most of all, even more kids who are returning home with healed hearts, we’ve barely mentioned an exciting new product that will help the Preemptive Love Coalition fulfill its mission to fund heart surgeries for the no less than 3,000 children in Iraq who are dying on a waiting list.
Kids Klash are a great way to help younger kids connect with the lives of their global peers. Many of the kids on the surgery waiting list are between the ages of 1 and 6—the same age range that will be able to enjoy wearing Kids Klash. When a child has the chance to wear a great handmade shoe, it provides an opportunity to teach them about the wider world and the challenges of poverty and conflict faced by kids like them around the world. It’s not quite walking a kilometer in someone else’s shoes, but it’s at least a start.
Kids Klash don’t just help build perspective—they make a real difference, too. These shoes are handmade over the course of 20 hours per pair by village cooperatives, by prisoners seeking to rehabilitate their lives, and by victims of landmines seeking a living wage. Each purchase invests money in their economy. And, even more, each purchase helps to fund a heart surgery for one of the 3,000 Iraqi children waiting for the chance to live.
With a lower price (only $25!) and a more kid-friendly rubber sole (water and washing are no problem now), Kids Klash are a perfect way to change lives and save lives.

PLC in Social Cause Diet (Book)
August 10, 2008 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
Author Gail Perry Johnston is concerned that in our country, where hundreds and hundreds of diet books are produce each year, we continue to grow increasingly gluttonous. Her contention is that most diet books have one major flaw: they are still all about food and the dieter.
This book is about as far away from that M.O. as is imaginable. Her new book, The Social Cause Diet, is all about getting the attention off ourselves and onto to helping others. She maintains that “volunteering is good for your health.” On the menu is an entry by PLC’s very own Cody Fisher.
Check out The Social Cause Diet on Amazon - or just visit our Preemptive Love page to see how you can volunteer with PLC and improve your health!
