Hey guys!
Some of you already know this, but as part of my college work, I'm volunteering to go to Malawi next Easter for 6 weeks. I'll pretty much be working as an IT expert and a teacher or teaching assistant in the Technical College in Mzuzu. I'll also be working with Wells For Zoe, who are a charity who provide clean water wells and other development help to rural communities in Malawi. I'm so lucky to have this opportunity and I'm EXCITEEEED.
Anyway, to be able to go, I have to raise €2225, (about $2730), €1000 ($1230) of which I need by the end of October to pay for flights. I'll be doing fundraisers and getting sponsorship and all sorts of stuff locally. I also made a website with loads of information and functionality for people to donate online through paypal.
The website is www.sendmetomalawi.com. Go visit if you wanna find out more! I also made a facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/Send-Jean-to-Malawi/128141763889747?v=wall wewt
I'm appealing to you guys for three things:
1: I need monies! If you or your parents or whoever can donate even a couple of dollars or euro I'd be eternally grateful! I will give you ONE MILLION #COOKIES. Promise! Of course I understand completely if you can't do this, so no worries =)
2: Spread the word! Tell people about this project, encourage them to visit my site, donate, attend events if they can. The more people know about what I'm doing, the faster I can raise money and go help the crap outta some Malawians!
3: I wanna try and have some other online appeals, and I want you guys to help me with that, cause you have this weird tendency to be awesome. I wanna start some smaller projects to raise money, so if you have any ideas, let me know! I guess this thread is the sort of super-project and the other ones would be sub-projects. Yeah. That's my justification for putting this in the projects forum. Take THAT admins! (<3)
Any help you guys can give would make me really really really happy. So happy that I might explode in a huge wave of rainbows and butterflies and tangerines and Cortney's boobs!
So, any ideas?
