Party with Heart went to NYC to support our friends at Build a Nest and Proud Mary.  It is a rare occasion to have us all in the same city at the same time.   As soon as Marybeth and I walked through the doors, the empanadas, vino and conversation began to flow. Rebecca (Build a Nest) had as line of people waiting to chat with her.  

For those of you who have not heard of Build a Nest, please go and check it out (buildanest.com).  Rebecca and her team at Nest have done a remarkable job of supporting female entrepreneurs in developing countries by way of micro finance loans.  Nest has also changed their model to incorporate education loans.  Music to my ears! I love how Build a Nest listens to the needs of woman and works to make it happen - well done, Nest!

In addition to meeting the famous Rebecca, Marybeth and I had the pleasure of meeting her elementary school friend, Larry.  We had a wonderful time talking and laughing.  I’ll post some photos here so that you can all get a sense of the evening and the good time that was had.  I think Larry called it “good karma”. 

I also met the founders of Proud Mary - Harper and Molly.  They have a very cool design sensibility and spirit.  I also love that they participate with Nest - goes to show they are two smart ladies with warm and caring hearts.  Way to go, ladies!

Party with Heart is looking forward to offering products from both Nest and Proud Mary.  Stay Tuned for more information on ways that we can support this good work.

So, without further ado.  Here are some images of Rebecca (Build a Nest) & Larry (friend), Me and Marybeth (Party with Heart gals).  I wish I had thought to take some images of Harper and Molly.  Check out ProudMary.org to learn more about their good work in Guatemala.
