Fundraising Update

One last weekend of fundraising. Last weekend was a major success in Chicago with a grand total of $2500 raised, extra effort by Andra allowed this number to happen. Yesterday Andra and Sunny went cloths collecting in Ft. Wayne, IN. They had to visit 24 clothes bins and today I took the clothes to Merriville to be weighed, the result was 3,500 pounds collected which means they probably earned around $200-$275 for ou team fundraising. This Friday thru Sunday we only have to raise $600 to complete our fundraising for Belize. Our strategy is to make this goal by early Saturday and the rest of the money will be raised directly for our teams discretion in Belize (for the projects of course).

We have less then 3 weeks till we leave and still there is much preparation to complete. So that means we should be really busy, but that's no different from when we started our team in January. It's official also that Andra and I will be in the Mayan dialects of the Toledo district in Belize or South Belize and Sunny and Hyun Jung will be in the Spanish speaking area of Northern Belize or Corozal.

I'm hoping that on occasion we will have access to the internet to keep up with the blog, once a week would be nice but once a month is probably a more realistic. We will see!!!
