Swaziland Bound

So if this blog blows, it aint' my fault... i'm new to this shite. i'm going to try and 'maintain' this whilst we are in Swaziland.
No promises.

As of 5 days ago, i was just looking for a few pairs of used shoes - and now, somehow, this whole thing has exploded

We leave in 15 days ... the clock is ticking ( Insert large Jack-Bauer-24-ticking- clock here!) and i don't feel nearly ready enough

For those who aren't aware, the donations for the orphanage have surpassed $1000...
... we are
currently at $1,016.21 (Amr)
.

CLICK HERE TO DONATE

Some have given $5, some have given $250. What blows me away is just how many of the donations are from people i have never met - who read about our trip on my friend Karen's website, and hit the donate button. Click Here for Troll-Baby

If this rubbish is ever read by anyone besides me and my cat, thank you to all those who have donated.
For those who would like to donate $5 ( less than a grande Latte at Starbucks ) to an orphanage in AIDS-ravaged Swaziland:



I have heard that some people think this is a scam - kinda like that Nigerian billionaire who want to get money out of his country by emailing random people. Well, i can personally guarantee that this is no Nigerian scam, cause' you won't ever get one cent back. I will take all your money out of the country, in an envelope, straight to Swaziland ( where you'll never have a chance to be refunded ) and it will be all be spent on something that will benefit kids in an AIDS-ravaged country. We might buy pre-school supplies. We might buy sandals and shoes. We might fix their water filtration system... i have no idea.

But without your help - we wouldn't be buying anything.

Once i figure out pictures, i'll try and get something upload to this website

Regular updates with new total will follow

many thanks
