(For new followers of my blog, you can view this post, which explains my Guatemala trip and the various fundraisers I was/am doing.)
It's official! My passport came in the mail today and our plane tickets have been purchased! In 6 weeks and 5 days, I will be boarding a plane to head to Joyabaj, Guatemala. I'm starting to get really excited and nervous too!
Unfortunately, I still have a lot to do before then, like raise another $800. I'm applying for a few jobs, so cross your fingers that I'll get one(!), but that still won't be enough.
I am also still offering all of the opportunities from my first post.
-Advertising on my blog is still $5 for two weeks.
-Critiques are $10-$15, depending on the novel length. (I can provide references for this as well.)
-There is still some room left on the shirts but I am designing them TODAY. This is a great promo opportunity for your book but if you're interested, please contact me TODAY.
-Finally, if you aren't interested in any of these options but would still like to help me meet my goal, there is still a Paypal button in the corner of my blog.
I also want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that has helped me so far. I wouldn't have made it this far without your support. Every little bit does make a difference and I really believe that we'll be making a HUGE difference in the lives of the people we're going to meet. We're basically the first American students to EVER visit this school and we're going to be doing all sorts of community service projects. We're also taking over laptops and other supplies for the students, things that they'd normally never have. I think this is going to be a life-changing experience for everyone involved.

I'm envious. The school I work at has been sponsoring a school in Guatemala, and I would have loved to have been part of the group going down there to see what our donations are doing.

WoW colour me impressed! I was browsing trough some blogs and found yours, and it hit when I read Guatemala, because I'm from Guatemala!!! Most people don't even know that our country exists and you are helping a school. My God you just made my evening, thank you so much for caring and helping this people.
I hope you like our country and enjoy your stay.
