Final Run

Well it's the week before presentations and I feel like I should inform you all of my progress with the distributing of the bracelets and my presentation.

So far I have raised $190 by selling the bracelets to teachers, students, friends, and family. I was running low on wristbands to make, so I ordered another pack of 25 bands and I received them on Tuesday for the third of the school's staff that I am presenting to. I expect to have all of them ready for the arts festival and presentation on Wednesday.

For the actual presentation, I will give background on the genocide in Darfur, the death toll, and ways of giving. That will be followed up by a power point presentation, which will show some of the many different people who bought my bracelets and I will also talk about my reasons for creating the fund, and how I plan on continuing to sell bracelets and give money to support the people of Darfur. At the end of the presentation I will talk about the fund I am giving the money to, and how I believe they are reliable.

If anyone has any suggestions for my presentation, feel free to leave a comment.

I am very happy to have found you through Technorati.
I have a couple of suggestions for the blog itself, I will love to link your blog/blogs to mine, but my blog is in Spanish, and while some of my readers speak English they’re the few, so here are my suggestions:

A translator with choice of translations i.e. Portuguese, Spanish, French etc., and as I’m saying it, I’m thinking that my blog needs it too. :-) right now I only have translation to Portuguese.
An e-mail address where you can be contacted

I commend the work you are doing, I’m a believer in the fact that every grain of sand counts to make a mountain, and right now we need many mountains from where we can all stand together and enjoy this beautiful world we still have, we must not get used to all the misery that is surrounding us right now.

My best regards to you
