Capitalizing on my excitement here, and trying to get right to work on finding some money for this trip! I have an honest fear that I'm not going to be able to afford a flight to go...but I refuse to let that fear stop me from trying!
I found a great quote in the GYC fundraising information, Ghandi said, "If the cause is right, the means will come." God I hope he's right...
I'm mailing out letters to family and friends this week, so if you're here on the blog because you got one in the mail, thank you for taking the time to see what this is all about!
I've contacted department chairs, faculty and staff, and various centers here on campus for donations and fundraising advice.
I've looked into a few scholarship options, none I have been eligible so far. I'm in contact with the Maumee Rotary, and will continue to pursue more throughout the next weeks. I'm also going to try contacting the Dayton International Peace Museum and see if there is any room for collaboration there.
For any of you out there searching for flights for whatever reason, my roomate Jenni told me about kayak.com, its pretty great, and I just downloaded and am currently running a program, "TripStalker", thats right, you can enter flight searches and it continually "stalks" prices as long as you let it run.

Hello dear cousin!
Check out this site:

I heard it mentioned by a friend a few weeks ago and I think it could help you. Basically it takes advantage of your social network (which you seem to have, sort of;) and connects it with Paypal to make it all secure and whatnot. Plus it works on Blogger sites.
