Africa-Bound

9 days and counting until I'm off to Africa... can't wait!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the pot. I've set the widget up to close on May 11, so there still a few days left for you to participate if you would like to. To reiterate, All my expenses to and for the conference are already paid for - that is not what this is about. I know when I'm there I'll run into opportunities to help... there will be no end to them. (For instance, while I'm in Burundi we'll be visiting an orphanage. And when I say orphanage, I mean someone who has taken in about a dozen orphans out of the goodness of their heart, and now is faced with the daily challenge of making ends meet. These are the kinds of needs I'm talking about.)

If you'd like to join in, PayPal will take as little as $1, so there's no such thing as "too little." Just click on the ChipIn widget to the right. I promise to put your money directly into the hands of someone who needs it, and when I get back I'll let everyone know where and how their money is helping.

Thanks.
