First Blog

Tara Keene and myself, Mary Johnson, have decided to start this blog in order to keep people up to date on our progress. Our goal is to raise $5,000 in order to live in India for one month and teach orphans English. The cost is great due to the Real Gap program and the flights are not cheap either which is why we require many donations. Every one who donates will be recognized on this blog. For now we are excepting donations by mail at my home address which is:
Mary Johnson
1950 Parleys Loop
Francis, UT 84036
or
Tara Keene
4670 Nelson Ct
Park City, UT 84098
We hope to set up a Pay Pal account to make it more efficient but till then...
Today Tara and I had our photos taken for the Park Record that will be attached to our article asking for donations. The article should come out this Saturday so be sure to pick one up. Our plans for the weekend are to go door to door as a small step in getting things done and we have some other things in mind. One, that I particularly like, is an idea Tara's mom actually came up with. To put our love for children to good use, we are going to have some friends join us as we take neighborhood kids out for a kind of day camp experience. We want to play games, maybe go to a movie and we will be responsible for the kids for the whole day. We would maybe ask for a payment of $15 but more donations will be welcome. For now, all we have set in stone is the article and the door to door. We are going to be putting up fliers and updating this blog in order to keep everyone in the loop of things. Thanks for your interest and support!
