you can build a nest

Ohhh geez, where do I start. I hope you’ve read the above letter from Rebecca, the Founder of Nest and a dedicated woman. Two weeks after graduating from college (back in 2006)  she founded Nest, and has since been improving the lives of women in developing countries. These woman receive interest-free loans or even the occasional emergency personal loan in which they use to master their craft and make beautiful product. The Nest story is truly inspiring and there are several ways you can build your own nest and get involved.

Let’s build a nest together!
Here are 10 simple ways you can make a difference. Some big, some itty bitty.

1. Follow Nest to get daily updates on Twitter, Facebook and Vimeo.
2. Read the Blog! There are some really great stories being shared.
3. Join the mailing list to get special offers and the inside scoop on Nest events!
4. Shop Nest product either by Loan Recipient or by Artist Helping Artist.
5. Attend any of the upcoming social events. ( India Night & Rugby in San Francisco)
6. Join the local Nest chapter in your city and strengthen your community!
7. Give the gift of a tax-deductible donation.
8. Become a Nest Summer Fellow or a Nest Intern. ( OMG this is crazy amazing!)
9. Throw a Nest party to raise funds.
1o. Help the nest team and volunteer your graphic and web design skills.

New years call for new ways of giving back. Above a super way to support a great cause and stay connected to the handmade movement. (have you taken the handmade pledge?)

If you like what you see, you are in luck. Nest is going to become a regular sighting here on The Veda House blog. Rebecca and I will be working together to provide you with information right from the source.

Check back soon for our first Nest giveaway! So excited to be able to connect my lovely readers to something so awesome. If you start building your own nest, PLEASE let me know. I’d love to be able to report back to Rebecca with handfuls of excited followers.
