As you may remember from a little while ago, I am currently sponsoring one 'foster child' from Paraguay through Foster Parent's Plan (Plan International).<br><br><br><br>
I really want to sponsor a second child, but am not sure if I can do it alone on my university student's budget. THUS, I have decided to fundraise! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
"><br><br><br><br>
All I need is $370 dollars in total, and I know I can do it if I set my mind to it! (That's approximately $10 bucks from 37 people, or $15 from 25 ppl, or $20 from 19 ppl, or $31 bucks (a month's sponsorship) from 12 ppl, including myself).<br><br><br><br>
You may remember my "36 Hour Fast" idea from a while ago... It has gotten fairly poor reception up here, so I am trying to find other ways to raise the cash in the meantime.<br><br><br><br>
I have asked my university dept for permission to sell cookies and muffins, etc, in the Lab where I work (to go with the coffee we sell) and use the profits to support the second kiddo... but we have to wait for approval from the uni first, and it may be a no-go...<br><br><br><br><br><br>
IN the meantime, I have decided I will begin spreading the word!<br><br><br><br>
If any of you have any good suggestions for fundraising activities that I can pull off basically by myself, please let me know!<br><br><br><br>
OR, if you would like to donate something to help me raise the funds, PM me and I can send you my p.o.box mailing addy. (This is a good way to contribute to something worthwhile, without having to contribute to a whole $31/month yourself!)<br><br><br><br>
The group I am fundraising for will send tax receipts to anyone who donates, if I give them a list of those requesting it.<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Check out <a href="http://www.fosterparentsplan.ca" target="_blank">www.fosterparentsplan.ca</a> to see what I'm on about, and give me some feedback in the meantime!<br><br><br><br><br><br>
I want to sponsor a girl this time, as women are largely underrepresented on a global scale, and in an area/age group which places her at risk of being sucked into the sex trade.<br><br><br><br>
If any VBers help me out, I will post info and updates here for all to see!
