Thank You ALL So Much

This will be my final blog post before going to Belize this Friday. Firstly, I want to apologize for temporarily abandoning the blog for a little over a month. I failed to prioritize to it and so it continued to be pushed further and further down my to-do list.

When I started fundraising for the program the goal of $8,738 seemed impossibly high. After almost 6 months of mostly steady fundraising efforts, I received over $1, 500 in personal donations exceeding my goal of $750. Supplemented by my personal funds and some school scholarships my grand total comes to $4,011.35. This enormous sum shattered the expectations I had six months ago, and courtesy of an apparent glitch in my school's financial aid program, I may be able to have my scholarship that wasn't applied to my study abroad semester applied to my summer semester, which would cover the final $4,800 thus achieving my goal!

I want to thank everyone who donated, and everyone who believed in the importance of investing in future leaders, and the improvement of our planet.

Just a reminder, my original Dominican Republic program on Microfinance was combined with the Belize Program on developing sustainable green business solutions to create the Latin America Field Study Program. To learn more about new program, and specifics about what we'll be doing in each, click on the link below.

Thank you so, so, so much again, and be sure to check back often, as my next post will be from the Belizean rainforest ! (assuming I have internet of course).
