It's a big world to change, but somebody has to do it - why not kids? Epic Change is seeking to make a difference, through a "pay it forward" model that doesn't just ask people to reach into their pockets. One of Epic Change's founders, Stacey Monk, was in Arusha, Tanzania for a few months to volunteer, and came back with her heart bursting. There, she found a small school, called Shepherds Junior Academy, a pre- and primary school of about 170 kids, which had been displaced because the landowner was selling it to a developer for a hotel. These children - in one of the most destitute countries in the entire world - were about to lose their chance at an education they may not ever regain.

Put feet on the bottom and make it a table…hang them from the wall for that floating box look. Or, set them up in endless configurations, with endless choices of interchangeable doors and cubby cut-outs"
