Well, it's January now and my fund raising campaign is somewhat underway. Since I was only notified during the Christmas break, there have been a lot of delays. I did one set of appeal letters already, but I need to start a new one soon.

I've been in contact with my school's Student Union and they are going to be helping me out with applying for a grant/ support. They may also help me draw people to my fundraisers.

Currently I'm having a movie marathon, and am still in the process of trying to get a charity show and bake sale going.

It's very tough going, I'm not at all getting the support I had intended, and the faculty strike at St. Thomas University isn't helping me at all. Once people know I exist, things may get easier.

Still doing a lot of research, planning, etc. Recently read a really good book called "Savage Interlude" by John B. Beckett. He and another fellow decided to go on a trip to Guyana in 1968 to look for gold and diamonds. Even though they prepared for the worst, everything went wrong! I couldn't stop reading it, it was so good! For being so antiquated (40 years now), it seems pretty accurate for what dangers you'd face in the "bush" of Guyana.
