Good News

I got some great news a few days ago - our India volunteer group has raised $8,364 towards our goal of $10,400! It amazes me how quickly we were able to get this far ... when I first saw the goal, it seemed impossibly high, but now we are totally within reach. Awesome!

Another piece of amazing news, that I announce almost with tears in my eyes -- I just found out that I am the top fund raiser in our group. I have long since surpassed my goal of $500 - more than tripled it in fact! After making the announcement, I was totally overwhelmed by the response, the generosity from friends and family and even people I had never met. I don't know how I came to be so blessed as to have so many wonderful people in my life, only that I am more thankful than I can say.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who helped out, you will be with me in spirit as I am sweating under the hot Indian sun on Christmas Day!

That being said, we are still collecting donations, of course, so if you would still like to help out, go to http://www.golongitude.org/www/JET_Winter_2007.html

Thanks again everyone!

That is awesome Nikki Mo! I also heard you are the top fund-raiser....nice work! You must have gotten my HUGE donation! Just kidding, but if I could I would. What is the holiday time like in japan? Has it snowed yet? It may snow here this weekend but I doubt it. Right now the skies are falling but in the form of cold wet rain. We will miss seeing you over the holidays but if things work out, we may be seeing each other in early 2008-----booyah! Much love and light
