Ready? Not even close... but getting there!

I am really excited to go to China this Spring with ILP. There is so much to do still but I am getting more and more prepared everyday. Both of my references are turned into the program and my fees are paid off. For my fundraising, I am selling raffle tickets and holding drawings for prizes. Another idea I have is creating an email list. Anybody that donates over a certain amount of money can sign up. I will send an email, once a month, with pictures and updates of how everything is going, to those donators so they feel like they are a part of my experience. I was planning a concert to raise money, but I may raise enough with the other fundraisers.  I am still working out all the little details.
