Worldbuilders: A Heifer International Fundraiser

*UPDATE: We would like to thank all who have supported this effort for the last month.  On Sunday, December 27th we passed the $250.00 mark, which means some lucky family is getting a WATER BUFFALO!*

     International Bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss has begun his 2nd annual Worldbuilders fundraiser for the benefit of Heifer International.  Join us in supporting his efforts to improve living conditions for people all around the globe.

For every copy of "The Name of the Wind" that we sell between December 4th and January 10th, one of our booksellers will match the full cover price and donate it to Heifer International through the Worldbuilders fundraiser.

By buying this book you not only get a wonderful novel, but you also ensure that people around the world recieve sustainable solutions to famine and poverty.

You can learn more about Pat's fundraiser, and his books, on his blog: www.patrickrothfuss.com/blog/blog.html

Heifer International is a non-profit organization that seeks to increase the standard of living around the world by donating livestock and supplies to those who need them.  What makes them unique is that they do not stop there: people are then taught how to use the supplies in a sustainable way.  Be it giving a family a goat and teaching how to care for, milk, and breed it, or giving a family the break they needed to send their kids to school, Heifer International has helped many people in 60+ years of operation. www.heifer.org
