Fundraising ... we did it!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to Rising Star Outreach in my name! I have reached my commitment, and even slightly exceeded it. I am honored to be surrounded by such kind and generous people! I am taking the final steps to getting ready - final shopping trips for those important last (I hope) things, packing my suitcase, trying to figure out how I'm going to make it through 30 hours of travel time, reconfirming my reservations, starting my anti-malaria medication, and on and on. I can't believe that I leave in only a day. Thank you all, and I promise that I will post more exciting photos as soon as I have them.
