Donating....

It's funny when people ask me how much I get paid to volunteer at the school in Tanzania...and then to see the shock on their face when I tell them that I am paying to go there...but that's the reality of volunteering...it's not just your time or knowledge that they need, it takes money to help them....

So the fact that you've clicked on this link tells me one of two things....

You're wondering what kind of 40th Birthday gift could you possibly give to a girl that lives out of a backpack?

OR

You're thinking that you paid way too much in income tax this year and you're looking for a good cause to donate to so that you can get a tax receipt....

Either way, we'd love to take your $$$....

So if you're interested in donating....cheques can be made out to St. Augustine's. (with Tanzania Mission in the memo section) and you'll need to include your mailing address so that they can send out the tax receipts....They've asked to me collect them all and send them in together....so I'll be doing that the middle of March 2007. And since I will be of "No Fixed Address" as of February 20th, you can send the cheques to my parents address:

454 Alston Rd
London, Ontario
N6C 3B9

Thank you for your generous spirit...Without all of you, I would never have had this chance to make a difference.....
