\"\"<\/a>Libby and her Mom Meg have something in common.\u00a0 They love to bake.\u00a0 In fact, they even have their own web site where folks in the Hamilton, Ohio area can order freshly baked muffins and cupcakes to be delivered to your door. Check them out here:http:\/\/flourpowertreats.weebly.com\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n

But what makes Libby so cool is that she has used her love for baking as a way to raise money to bring clean water to a community in Africa. \u00a0Muffin Mondays she calls them.<\/p>\n

Every Monday since early October Libby has delivered freshly baked muffins to the Teacher\u2019s Room at her school in Harrison.\u00a0 Flavors vary each week and have included Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Granola, Blueberry, and Cinnamon Apple Crumble.\u00a0 Wrapped in clear plastic wrap so the tantalizing goodness can be seen, each muffin is labeled with this equally clear message \u2026 these muffins don\u2019t only taste good, they DO good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

They taste good, and do good!<\/p><\/div>\n

Each muffin is only $1, but that $1 is a gateway to clean water.\u00a0 Libby\u2019s loyal teachers and fans have been doing their part by ordering their muffins each week, and Libby and her family are gaining momentum toward their goal to fund a well.<\/p>\n

What about the rest of Libby\u2019s family?\u00a0 Well, Dad holds the invaluable (and lucky) role of being an official taste tester; and sister Maggie is helping out in the kitchen measuring out yummy ingredients.\u00a0 The inspiration of all this family fun?\u00a0 Libby\u2019s Grandmother, who has seen first-hand the need for clean water during mission trips to Africa. \u00a0Her stories shared with Mother Meg and Granddaughter Libby stirred up the passion for clean water that led the Graham family to bake treats that will turn into taps (or more likely pumps) of clean water.<\/p>\n

So my only question?\u00a0 If Monday\u2019s are for muffins, what about Tuesday and the rest of the week?!<\/p>\n
