Each piece of the puzzle will be stitched by a crafty person who gives a damn and has spent time and effort creating a piece, stitched with a message to remind us we can all improve the world and help fulfil its potential, 260 kids die every hour as a direct result of malnutrition - this is not acceptable to me and I wont turn my head yet another time to these statistics. I'm creative and I can use this talent to be a part of the solution. Please get involved! We have until Feb 28th to get our jigsaw pieces stitched and be secretly awesome.
No time? then just hit the retweet symbol or share this post on Facebook / pinterest or why not tell a friend in real life! (offline awesomeness!)
