Donate to a project in support of Geobloggers Giving Kids the Earth

This challenge is a combined effort of Kim Hannula (All of My Faults Are Stress Related), Anne Jefferson (Highly Allochthonous), and Erik Klemetti (Eruptions). We've chosen a group of projects that involve rocks, earthquakes, water, weather, soil, and other topics related to the Earth Sciences. Please help us bring earth science projects to schools in need!
