One Month To Go!!

In one month I will be on my way to South Africa!! Time has flown by and I can't believe the trip is so close. I have so much to do to get ready.

In terms of fundraising Father Ed is putting something in this weekends church bulletin so I hope to add a few more Sponsors to my list. I feel so blessed to have received so much already from my long list of Sponsors. The deadline for online donations through the Cross-Cultural Solutions website has passed. Any money donated through the website now will be kept by Cross-Cultural Solutions and I will have to request a refund which can take weeks so please don't donate online.

I am still reading my books on South Africa and making a lot of calls to take care of the details of travelling. I am very excited to find out exactly where my volunteer placement will be. I should know one week before I leave.

On a professional note I have accepted the position of Youth First School Social Worker at North Elementary and South Terrace in Posey County! Funding for my current school is ending and there was some new funding for Posey Co. I am very happy to get to stay with Youth First Inc. So I have lots to do to end the school year and be ready for South Africa. I will keep you all posted!

Fundraiser

For the past four years I have been fortunate enough to serve as the Youth First School Social Worker for Delaware Elementary. With the help of some teachers I had the idea to do a fundraiser there. So today everyone could pay $1 to wear Jeans or $2 to wear Sweats. The fundraiser was a big success and I received $86.66!! Thanks to everyone who participated!!!
