I just got contacted by Lisl Hofer, the Semester Teacher, with the news that I will get the full 30% scholarship on the tuition. This is an immense relief because I was already calculating it into my fundraising plans and it takes $4,000 off of the total cost of 14,750 which leaves me with 10,750 to raise. There is also a couple hundred extra that I need for mountaineering boots, backpack and other expedition gear.
I am almost ready to send out my Appeal Letter. I'm compiling a list of people to send it to, so if any of you wants to get on it you can shoot me an email. cloudharvest@gmail.com
Adios,

Busy, busy, busy!
Hello everyone,
I have a delightfully long fundraising to-do list, full of projects, people to contact, events to organize, and much more. On one hand it is great to have so many ideas and ways to raise money but on the other hand my school studies and artistic passions are being squeezed into smaller and smaller bits of the day. I am also having to sacrifice much enjoying of the winter wonderland. . . which is what I'm sacrificing right now, though I'll be taking a break when a friend arrives in a short while.
I am in quite the optimistic mood at the moment. Maybe it's the swirling snow outside my window. Or the warmth of our wood stove slipping between the floorboards to warm my feet.
I learned some exciting fundraising tricks at Ultimate Frisbee last night and I was informed of a really promising grant which gives money to young people to help them reach their dreams.

I am accepted to Kroka!!!!
Hello!
I got the acceptance letter a few days ago which has lifted my mood considerably. Every time I think about the adventures that lay ahead I get regenerated with excitement. It helps me get through the days of grant essay writing and event organizing.
I just sent an email off to the UU Church Bulletin so that 130 more people have been informed of my project!
Things being planned:
An Ecuadorian dinner event for April.
Possibly a Kickstarter page.
A short, film about my fundraising project to put on channel 2 and Kickstarter.
I'll keep you updated.
