Making your Leap Day count

February 29 is next week, and my friends at HOPE International have put together this cool new video to encourage people to make this year's extra day count.

Please consider making the most of 2012's extra day by making it count for one of HOPE's clients in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At the web site for the Leap Forward campaign there's a simple calculator that'll help you determine how much your Leap Day is worth. HOPE’s end goal is to raise funds to support their microfinance operations in Congo, placing people on the pathway out of poverty. I love creative ideas like this, so consider this a public service announcement.
