JARS OF CLAY

Social networking hub MySpace.com awarded the Jars of Clay-founded Blood:Water Mission initiative $10,000 for its work in favor of Africa's underprivileged. Each month, the site gives an Impact Award to the charity with the most votes in a particular category, including poverty relief, international development, and justice. "It is an honor to win this award," said Blood:Water founder Dan Haseltine. "The MySpace community is a fertile place to grow the seeds of justice, compassion, love and action, and to help people see that their story is ready for the chapter about how each one of us changes the world."
