Hey everyone! If you think this blog is cool, check out our fund raising page:
http://www.firstgiving.com/oahsjapan
You can use this page to make secure donations to help support our trip. Right now we have the goal set at $3000, and we are over halfway there, but I'm really hoping that we will SURPASS our goal. This would mean that the students won't have to come up with so much of the money on their own in order to go.
Right now we're focusing our efforts on getting sponsorships from local businesses and corporations. Campbell Glass (my dad's business) is in for $25o already! Last week, Sasha, Jackie and myself (with the help of Elijah, who is not going to Japan but graciously helped out anyways, and held the door open for us every time) delivered letters to every Japanese restaurant in Oakland and Alameda. It took all day, but it was fun, and hopefully it will pay off in the end.
Today I took letters to Yoshino's Sushi, Francesco's Italian Restaurant, UPS, Comcast and FedEx, which are all located very close to our school. The UPS guys were fabulous, and showed a lot of support for our trip. I walked out of there with $30 in cash donations, a phone number for the Business and Development department, a smile on my face, and a big boost of confidence; feeling reassured that there are people out there that support our cause - we just have to find them!
So if you are one of those people, get yourself over to our fund raising page and make a donation!
