Introducing Rice & Beans Month!

Lahash friends, we are excited to introduce our new event! During March we are inviting you and your friends and family to be a part of Rice & Beans Month. This will be a solid month of eating simple Rice & Bean meals for the following reasons:

1. SOLIDARITY: We are standing with our brothers and sisters in East Africa who live on limited incomes and who can only afford simple meals like Rice & Beans.

2. SIMPLICITY: Those of us who live in wealthier nations often eat for pleasure and eat in excess. We are going to eat a nutritious and simple meal to give up on wasteful consumption.

3. SHARING: We choose to simplify and stand in solidarity in order to share with our brothers and sisters. We are asking you to look at your food budget for the month and give whatever you would have spent on your food for that month to the kids living in our East Africa partnerships.

Head on over to EatRiceAndBeans.com for more on the movement (and to share your photos, videos, and recipes) - and click on the Rice and Beans Facebook event to officially join the event during March. For questions please email Erin Gleason at info@eatriceandbeans.com
