My charity: water campaign is finished!
It started with a simple idea, that I then decided to make into a reality.
This entailed three months trying to figure out how to approach people who care and get them to get involved and donate. It took me more than a couple of weeks to actually figure out how to donate, because of the whole location settings problem.
In hindsight, this couldn't have been a richer experience: I set the goal at 5000 bucks, because I didn't feel there would be any harm in aiming too high. It couldn't hurt.
The results are 170 bucks in donations, which makes water for 8.5 for 20 years. I'll say that again; TWENTY YEARS... by the way, I am actually looking in the computer screen and gesturing the words with my lips and making buggy eyes. I'm not making any sounds, because that would be weird.
Within the next year and a half, everyone who donated will receive an account of where their money has been spent. I'm definitely doing this again next year, but I'll do it harder and better then.
