Garage Sale

So I have an offical date for my garage sale. I will be doing it June 11th. If you have some free time stop by and check it out.

I'm looking for donations so if you plan on doing some spring cleaning and find some items send me an email with you name and list of items donated. We'll work everything out. If you have a busy week I will be happy to go and pick items up. All items need to be in by June 4th.

Thanks for all your help!

Sincerely,
Cori

Thank You Everyone

I am so grateful for all the help from everyone. I would especially like to thank my mom for all the work she has done for me and her willingness to let me participate in this program. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she gets ready to send me off on my own for the first time.  I really appreciate that you chose to donate to my program and I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my email and visit my blog. With everything that you have done gets me several steps closer to going to Brazil. Thanks for all your help!!!

Sincerly,
Cori

Garage Sale

So I am thinking about doing a garage sale to earn money for my trip. I haven't decided on a date yet because of some unfinished details for the summer (More info coming soon). I have a few item donations from people but I need a lot more. If you have any items you would be willing to donate send me an email at ppchlb@gmail.com and we'll work out the details. Thanks to everyone for helping me out so far! I'm getting closer each day.

Have an awesome day!!!

Love Cori :)

Matching Month

So April is all about matching and I'm not talking about the state standard you learn in school where a red square equals a red square. No I mean matching your donations! During the month of April AFS will match whatever donation you give (up to $500). So pretty much if you give $1 then AFS will give $1 also which doubles my chance of going abroad.

Thanks for all the help so far and don't forget to spread the word!

Starting an Adventure In Brazil

Dear Friends,

Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm so glad you were willing to give up a few minutes of your day to see what I plan in doing this spring. Well, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am currently a senior at Medina High School and Medina County Career Center. In February 2012 I will be leaving the United States to experience life in Brazil for a year through AFS Intercultural Programs. I'm so excited to learn about a new culture and a new language as well as share my culture with my host family. I hope to bring back what I learned and share it with everyone. Many people don't get the chance to see life in other countries let alone other states but I want to defy the usual boarder and let people know that there is life outside the United States. I plan to use this experience when I go off to college and later when I become a teacher.

Of course with any trip there is the fiance part. I currently babysit and I am getting a job to offset the cost of going to Brazil. With all the work I've been doing, I still need help. If you would like to help sponsor my program click the Chipin button to make a secure non-tax deductible donation. I know times are tough but any amount will help me get one step closer to my goal of traveling abroad. Thanks again for taking the time to visit my blog and read my posts. Have a great day!

Sincerely,
Cori
