So far what has been the most challenging thing in preparing as a team? What will your personal motto be for this trip? This question has electricity to it. I love mantras, and I believe in their power, but truthfully I hadn’t thought about Fundraising. It’s not easy. I have fundraised before, for the FEED organization, but it was a smaller amount of money, what this trip’s mantra will be yet. Off the top of my head/ and it was around my birthday so I asked for that as my gift, heart, I would say: Connection that transcends the need for words. I know the language is going to be somewhat of an if anyone felt inclined. It was easily met. This time its more, and some of my piers are in the group with me, so we have issue while we are there, and my deepest desire is to find as many ways as possible to connect with as many people as some mutual friends. I’ve been mindful of not wanting to make anyone feel pressured into donating. One of the possible. I want them to know how grateful I am to be members of our team, Adam, so beautifully explained that there, and how excited I am to help provide one-stepping stone to their lives that hopefully leads to endless it’s also important to realize that we don’t have to look at asking others if they want to donate to this cause as opportunities for them all.  bothersome, but also as an opportunity for the person we’re asking to be involved in something they feel a calling to as well. That really changed my belief around.  Interested in helping out? Additionally, you can reach out to corporations or their businesses and ask them to make a taxdeductible donation.
