Just a few More Weeks Until Nicaragua!

So we're just a few weeks away from our service trip in Nicaragua and Costa Rica! We are so excited especially with finals coming around we all know how much we need this trip, and a break!

The garage sale we had last weekend was a huge success, and we're so close to almost raising the rest of the money for the trip. This weekend we're playing again and doing another fundraiser.

We're working at a children's carnival in Plainfield, and since the weather has been so nice lately we're glad that we can work outside. This weekend's tournament is at IPFW and it's our last one before we go on the trip. Next week we stop practicing and it's just in time so we can focus on finals.

So today the team and a few other people cleaned up the new Plainfield High School. It was a lot of work, but we got a lot done while we were there. My team mate's dad
is in charge of the project and says he'll donate money to our trip to Nicaragua if we help out the next few weekends. Some people had friends come to help out too, which was nice and it helped make the work a lot easier.

It was a great way to give back, and also fund raise for our trip. I'm glad that we get to earn the money ourselves. It will make the trip much more enjoyable knowing that I worked hard for it! Our online auction was a huge success! I just want to thank all of you who placed a bid, and if you won I hope you enjoy your items!

Don't forget to check out BUNEWS for this weeks news cast! I helped do the clip about Blue's birthday, but there's also an amazing story about The Power of Children Project. It's a campaign going on to help raise money to build a primary school in Uganda. It's an amazing story that I think everyone should check out.
