So far, from the letters that I have sent out I have received $693.75 in donations. I have had donations from $1.75 to 100 DOLLARS!! I can't believe how generous my friends and family are! It looks at this point in time that I might only be able to go for a month or so, which would be fine! If that were the case though, I would like to go in March, because then I could still go to school in the Spring. I have checked with my professors and told them that I would be missing about 4 weeks of school (being in Africa for 5, but one of those weeks being spring break...) and all of them that I have heard back from have given me the go ahead and said that I could definitely do work ahead of time, fortunately I have a job that is pretty flexible and would allow me to do that. If I am able to go to school for spring semester, I will graduate with my BA in December! I would be 21! So I may be going to Africa for the month of March! Woot Woot! Thank you family, friends and neighbors for your support!!! I love you all so much!
PS Alyson, if you ever read this, I am NOT using the money to go on a vacation to Hawaii :)
