April 10 to July 10

Yup, I officially hit the three month countdown.  Not that I haven't been counting down this entire time, but it's getting down to the wire.

I just want to say how much I appreciate every one's support and encouragement.  I am so super excited and I can't wait to share all my amazing stories with you. 

So thank you thank you thank you to all who have been with me so far.

Also, as a reminder . . . donations are still being accepted (last day is June 12).

So, if you have a few extra bucks from that tax refund that you would like to use to support me just log onto www.my.crossculturalsolutions.org (search username - asauler) and follow the instructions on the screen. 

Don't forget to check back, you may be mentioned on this oh so popular blog :)  

Hugs,

You all know that I got my start of helping others with New Leash on Life (www.newleash.org) and I have to take a moment to let you all know about their upcoming fundraiser.  Woodland Hills can count as 'Amanda Around the World' also.

Check out New Leash on Life's 7th Annual NUTS FOR MUTTS!!!!

It's going to be great fun for animal lovers of all kinds.

3 Months and Counting

Hi All,

All the garage sales and the bake sale were huge hits!  Thanks again to all who contributed.  Your efforts mean so very much to me.  

I'm now looking for new ways to fundraise and my next project is going to be to ask local business to sponsor me.  Two ways you can help with this is to help promote my blog, the more people who see it the better.  Also, if you own or know anyone who owns a business who might be willing to sponsor me please let me know.

I am getting so excited about going to South Africa.  My parents bought me more books on the country and I just can't stop reading them.  I have tons of books and I keep learning more and more cool things.  Now, I know it's not very educational but I found out that I'm going to be in Cape Town during their Fashion Week!!!!  I love children and helping others, but on a more selfish note . . . I also love fashion!!!  How cool is that?!

Thanks for checking in and helping to make this blog and this adventure a success!!

Hugs,

Amanda
