First Garage Sale

Clean out your home for a good cause . . . 

To maximize my fundraising efforts in getting myself to South Africa I will be hosting garage sales and bake sales over the course of the next few months.
  
The first garage sale will be held on February 9 at my amazing sister's house in Lake Balboa.  If you have any items (furniture, clothes, housewares, books, etc.) in your home that need to be cleared out this is the perfect opportunity.  I will even arrange to come pick them up.  How much easier could it be?  

Hugs,
Amanda

Going to Africa


I can't believe I'm going to South Africa!!  This is something that I've wanted to do for years and now it is actually happening.  So crazy!!  I'm really excited about the entire experience, I just know I'm going to learn so much and meet some incredible people.
However, this is one experience that I can't make happen on my own which is why I'm asking you to sponsor me.  Your generosity could make this dream of mine come true.  If you didn't receive a letter and would like to know how you can help simply leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Or . . . go to my.crossculturalsolutions.org and search asauler.  
Throughout the process and while I am in South Africa I will be posting fundraising updates, dates for bake sales and garage sales, stories and pictures of my time in South Africa.  You will also be able to leave comments and stay in contact with me.  So keep checking, maybe you'll be mentioned :)

Hugs,
Amanda
