The biggest mistake I made with fundraising was not starting with a plan in hand. Of course this was my bad, as I am so kindly reminded by my mother every time the phrase "I don't know what to do next" slips out of my mouth. And sadly she is right, as she always seems to be... You see, without a plan there are days like wednesday, when I woke up at 9, worked till 7 at night, and yet still felt as though I hadn't made any progress...
So from now on I will start every blog off with a list of what I have done. Here goes...
Today I... Worked on my speech, wrote thank you notes, addressed letters, found contacts, responded to emails, contacted churches, newspapers, worked on this (my blog), counted the amount of money raised this week ($2,578) and half-listened to my mothers incessant nagging (which I am very thankful for, without it, I wouldn't get anything done... Or maybe I would just enjoy it more...)
It will all be worth it in the end when I have reached my destination, standing before a group of 80 children eager to learn, on the highest Tibetan plateau.
