Tuk Tuk

I have $1,526.64! Can I just say that I have a lot of friends who are also having to raise support for their internships this summer, and they are not even half way there in their support raising. I cannot believe the kind of support and encouragment I have been recieving, and at such a quick turn-around! So thank you! But as I said in my letter, I also want to try to raise enough money to buy the organization Daughters a gift that they really need. My mom asked the CEO what their dream supply would be and she said they could REALLY use a Tuk Tuk, which is a motorbike. Tuk Tuks are one of the main forms of transportation, and Daughters always has to use taxi tuk tuks, and it would be so much more convenient an probably cheaper if they just had their own. They cost about $2,000, and Daughters would not be able to afford one ANY time soon. This would be a wonderful gift because even if I turn out to be a bafoon on the mission field and I burn the place down, Daughters will at least have a motorbike and I will have left a lasting positive impact! So I'm just updating you on where I am in my funds and the gift we will be trying to provide them with. All we need is $1,973.36! Easy peesey, lemon squeezy! :) You guys are great.

60 Days Left!

I'm so excited!!! I wanna be there and eat delicious food (I heard it's a lot like Thai food. I LOVE THAI FOOD!) and I wanna ride on the back of a moto bike (tuk tuks) and I wanna be BFFs with a bunch of girls at Daughters! My mom has been asking the staff in Cambodia about a million questions and the more answers we get back the more excited I get. Apparently I'll be living in a flat with another American girl named Ashley who is also volunteering at Daughters (I love her already!), and below us will be a Cambodian family. WOO!!! OW OW OW!!! AKDHJHFSDJH!!!
