Travel Knowledge

When we divide the amount of money we need to raise for the trip ($15,000) by the miles we need to travel (about 3000 miles one way) that comes out to be about $5 per mile. Using this calculation, with the donations we have raised we can make it to Mayberry, North Carolina right now. But please don't leave us stranded with Barney Fife!

Money Update

Thank you everyone for the strong start to our fundraising. As of today we raised over $1,000 of the $15,000 we need for the trip. So far we don't have any from a foreign country so please send our info and links out to as many different places and people as you can.
Thanks again!
Paige, Erica, Tyler, Jesse

Factoid: If we need $15,000 for the trip, then we need 25,736 Brazilian Real.

Free Hammock (sorta!)

Anybody who donates (any amount) to our upcoming trip will be entered into our drawing for an authentic Brazilian hammock. We will do random drawings between now and March. We will  post the names of the winners on this blog so check us out here. The hammocks are quite comfy (I know from experience) and I know that what you feel inside when you donate will be even nicer than the feeling of relaxing in your new hammock.

Global Warming

Want to make "Global Warming" a good thing? 

We want to go world wide with our fund raising.  You can help us a couple ways. 
1. send us a donation  :)  yeah that was easy! 
2. We want to get donations from as many differenet countries as we can.  If you know anybody from another country please forward them our information. Any amount is helpful...it doesn't have to be a large donation because it all adds up.  We will track the donations and post them here on our blog.

Thanks again for helping us get to Brazil so we can warm the hearts of the little children of the Amazon River region.
