June 2008 eNews - Hollyhock’s Jubilant June


Dear Friends,

This month we celebrate Social Networking & our NEW Hot Tub solar panels installation. How do social networking and solar panels relate, you may ask? Well, last autumn, the Social Venture Institute participants decided they wanted to help Hollyhock take a next step to tread ever more lightly on the land AND use solar energy to preheat our beloved ocean-front hot tubs. Over 80 participants donated, and voila! Our new solar panels are happily heating over 50% of the water that keeps our guests toasty warm under the evening skies.

THANK YOU to all who participated. We welcome you to come have a look and experience the beauty and mission in action of Hollyhock this summer.

Want to help in our next project? Contact dana@hollyhock.ca.

Warm wishes,

Dana Bass Solomon
Hollyhock CEO

Our People

Hollyhock co-founder Torkin Wakefield is helping eradicate poverty in Africa through her BeadforLife initiative. It’s creating bridges of understanding between impoverished Africans and concerned world citizens. Ugandan women turn colourful recycled paper into beautiful beads, and people who care open their hearts, homes and communities to buy and sell the beads resulting in income, food, medicine, school fees -- and hope. All profits from BeadforLife are invested in community development projects that generate income and help people work their way out of poverty.
