Nothing like a little 80's Synth Rock. But to be honest, my love of the song actually stems from Arrested Development. Love the Magician named GOB :) Classic.
But seriously, we are down to the last 18 days guys! Luckily I just finished my last paper for my class in International Community Development, so I can completely focus on this.
This past week has been great for fundraising. On Sunday, I had a ton of feed back from people in my church offering to give me their cans, so I will be making a big pick-up tomorrow, as well as a large corporate pick-up on Friday.
So far this week, I have made two trips to the bottle depot, that have brought in $251.00! YAY!! The employees at the bottle depot know me and the kids well now, and are always ready with suckers for the kids, and to help me carry in the myriad of bags filled with recyclables. They've even contributed to the cause :)
I have been in contact with Izzo, the head of Marafiki Community, several times now. He has volunteers working on a cost list, so I have a better idea of where to put the money we've raised. He has also been in contact with Selena's daughter, Lucy (the woman I stayed with most of the time in Kenya). Izzo and Lucy are going out to Selena's village on the weekend, and Izzo is considering starting up some projects with the village as well! The village has been encountering shortages of food, as well as water. I'm excited to have Izzo and Marafiki Community involved with this village, as they can be the local eyes and ears on a community that means so much to me.
Great things are happening! Keep your support coming guys, the next 18 days are going to be great.
Thanks again for everything you are doing!
