"I have been deeply inspired by Sheena Matheiken's The Uniform Project (www.theuniformproject.com). Artist Cynthia Shaffer has designed and created a uniform inspired by the project that I pledge to wear for one full year, until Valentine's Day 2013, to bring attention to the world's water crisis, and to join countless others who are finding ways to mend, alter, make, and make do."Read Jenny's full post here. Jenny also has a Fundraiser page here. Her goal is to raise $5000 during this year long awareness campaign.
