Elettra Wiedemann proves beauty is more than skin deep Africa at night: dark areas mean no electricity
The organization needs to raise $450,000 to accomplish their goal, and there are two ways YOU can help.
First: put your energy into FASHION. Power-house designers Chris Benz, Phillip Lim, House of Diehl, Giambattista Valli, Rag & Bone and Roganhave designed limited edition t-shirts (100 only, $60 each), available starting TODAYat JustOneFrickinDay.com. You can also score a non-limited edition House of Diehl tee for $30.
Second: if your closet is already too full (if that'strue, I'd like to meet you), you can donate one day's worth of your annual salary instead. The website (hence the name) has a built-in calculatorwhich determines "Just One Frickin Day" of your annual salary fordonation.
