Would you like to make a tax deductible donation to my future projects?

Hello Fellow Blog Readers:

To those of you who are interested, I will be setting up an account that will allow you to make tax deductible donations to the projects I will be working on my second year. I will be spending my first year working on education. Then in my second year, I will determine families that are in need of a project in order for them to better their health. Projects could include, an improved cook stove, latrine, cement floor, water storage system, or drainage system. Criteria for recipients of projects will also be based on families dedication to the educational health talks that I will be giving and how great their desire is to better their health. More details to come concerning cost break down as it becomes available.

I am giving you a heads up so that you can start putting money away for this now if you so desire, maybe you have something you can give up and instead of spending the money you can send it towards a good cause. I will be setting up a fund when the time gets closer to begin my projects.

Turning 23

So apparently turning 23 was the icing on the cake to this experience. The whole adulthood aspect just hit me probably beacuse of the fact that my upcoming experiences will require me to be adult in more ways than I have ever had to in my life. It's not bad but I think we all wish we could live the carefree life of a kid forever. So on Tuesday the experience as a whole just hit me and I was overwhelmed with all of the details of the experience. I am way too much of a big picture person and am constantly putting in an honest effort to break it down and not get overwhelmed again.

Anyways the getting ready continues, lots of paperwork left and a few more supplies to gather (of which ebay will be a potiental source) and many decisions about random things concerning this experience will no longer be able to be put off.

19 days and counting!

This is it.....

In less than a month (22 days to be exact) I will be beginning my great adventure. I called to make flight arrangements yesterday and now all I can think about is how close it's getting. I am thankful for the time I have had to get ready, I never imagined how much prep I would have to do, all the stuff to buy and arrangements to be made and to think I decided to do this as a way to simplify my life, ahh the wonders we all go through. This shall be the first of many updates on my future adventures.
