Sounds like: The Cowboy Junkies + Leonard Cohen. Intimate, soothing, story-songs; blanket-fort music; a new favorite record.
15% of proceeds from Quiet at the Kitchen Door will be donated The Girl Effect , and organizations that invest in the education of girls around the world.

“Perfectly written, arranged and produced. This album induces tears, and touches that really vulnerable human part of us all.”

Socrates on self-confidence, part of Alain de Botton’s documentary A Guide to Happiness, based on his book The Consolations of Philosophy. His latest thought piece, Religion for Atheists, explores what secular movements like education and the arts can learn from religious concepts and delivery formats.

This week’s investment: Campaign for Female Education

Team Wolf
Hey guys!
Fun fact: a member of team wolf, Faith Rose, actually resides in London, ENGLAND. As a result, she sometimes tosses us an awesome English bone in the form of a rad UK girl empowering organization.
This week we give some serious love to one of the pioneers and early believers in the girl effect, Camfed. Founded in 1993, Camfed (Campaign for Female Education) is a UK based non-profit that fights poverty and HIV/AIDS across Africa “by educating girls and empowering to become leaders of change.” Camfed believes (like we do!|) that education can change everything but that many girls cannot afford to go to school. What’s more is that research shows that when you educate a girl, they earn up to 25% more and reinvest 90% in their families.
Camfed focuses on the individual girl to figure out the barriers to her staying in school and ultimately leading a productive adult life. They simultaenously involve the community to ensure that change happens from within it and because they believe that communities are best situated to create solutions to problems.
Since starting, Camfed has helped over ONE MILLION girls stay in school and reach their potential and to date, the model has been successfully replicated in 2,517 communities in Zimababwe, Zambia, Ghana, Malawi and Tanzania.
We are excited ot be able to invest $150 in Camfed and be part of an amazing movement across Africa.
For more information on Camfed (or to make an additional donation!), please visit their website.

This week’s investment: Soccer Without Borders’ Impact Nicaraguan Girls Playing Soccer for Change Project
Hi Pack!
Team Wolf here. It’s time for us to make our third investment in a Girl Effect organization. We feel so seriously lucky to have had such fantastic responses to our first two investments. Your contributions helped provide one girl in northern India with transportation to and from school for an entire year and another girl in Uganda start her own business providing solar power light to her community. Both of these amazing projects have yet to hit their target fundraising goals so if you are interested in learning more and giving more, please visit their websites:

Solar Sisters
This week, we will be donating $150 to Soccer Without Borders’ Impact Nicaraguan Girls Playing Soccer for Change Project. With $150, Soccer Without Borders will provide one team a full week of soccer including 3 soccer practices/games, 1 team building session, 1 workshop and 2 homework hours. The project works with 80 girls, ages 7 to 19 in Granada and believes that teams provide girls with a network of peers and mentors that help each girl stay in school, avoid risk behavior and make healthier choices.
Thank you, as always, for helping us make this investment. It is only through the sale of Wolf’s music that we are able to do it. So buy the music, spread the world, and be part of the Girl Effect:
