Great News!!

A Great Big Hello!

In the last few days, I have received some amazing news from various people. On Tuesday I was informed that it would snow here in Greeley, Colorado where I am currently living, and snow it did! I just spent about an hour looking like an out-of-state-kid while having a snowball fight in the field by my dorm. It was awesome! 

On another, more Cambodia-related note, throughout this past week I've gotten several emails from various people who've been so gracious as to become sponsors. This is due, in no small part to my mother, who has been doing as much, if not perhaps more advertising for my trip than even I have. So, thank you mom for your tireless efforts, and thank you also to the following people for committing to being sponsors:

Ms Marie Ferry 

Mr. Doug King

Mr. Michael Wada, Ms Shoko Imai, and NKK Switches 

Keep checking back for more updates to come soon!

I am very happy to report that as of 10am this morning, the $500 deposit was paid, and I now officially have secured a spot for the Cambodia trip happening May 9-31, 2014!!!!!!

This means that I'm that much closer to spending part of my summer doing some amazing humanitarian work with some amazingly caring people! Cambodia here I come!
