we met on the swings. she looks like yellow. her favorite word is wanderlust. and according to a three-year-old that is something of a expert on these things, she looks like a deer.
meet Danielle “Howdy” Howden, our brandspankin’ new Business Development Coordinator for the Northwest Region.
Howdy’s actually been involved with SOMO in some fashion or other since our official beginning last year, so it’s only appropriate that she becomes an official addition to our team. take a moment to get to know a little bit about her …
say the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “Education.”
literature. (is it lame that i said that?) ... anything you could ever learn finds it's way into literature. it's the heart throb of humanity.
what's on your nightstand right now?
a leaf fossil from Central Oregon. a book on parenting (nanny research). journal. a postcard from the 30s. chapstick. an ugly lamp with a square shade - i hate it. and a maglight in case the power goes out because i'm afraid of the dark.
who do you admire?
Amy Carmichael, a missionary that would sneak into Hindu temples in the night and rescue girls from a life of prostitution. just like that. she started an orphanage and was called her "Amma," which means mother. i really admire her.
"you can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving." - A.C.
what's the last book you read?
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
what's a Bible verse that inspires you right now?
Romans 12:14-21. live peaceably with all. rejoice with those who rejoice. weep with those who weep. overcome evil with good.
why SOMObeads?
it's kind of a why not thing. i love empowered women. i love Africa. i want to see everyone given the opportunity to live an enjoyable life - i care about justice that empowers people ... giving people the means of expression and earning for themselves the things they desire. SOMO does this. it isn't just a charity. i love being able to see the funds go straight to the children and see them get what every kid deserves. and watch it firsthand. SOMObeads allows an immediate illustration of hope and empowerment. it's tangible. people working together to bring change and joy and fuller life.
and she likes kosher hotdogs! bonus!
