My Fundraising Plans
Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life so far. After years of freaking out about telling my parents I wanted to exchange, I finally told them, and they both said yes!
I went to the library last night and got about twelve books on different countries. I REALLY want to go to Greece but I don't think Rotary has it for long term. Oh well, I don't think Italy is ever going to change from my number one spot anyway.
So now my main problem is raising money. The whole Rotary program is going to be around $3500, which includes a monthly spending money, but I am going to try and raise more. How much spending money I need depends on where I go, though. If I end up in South America I probably won't spend as much as in Europe.
How am I going to save up this money? I have a few ideas. I'll make around $500 from Youtube in a year (I am partnered with Youtube), birthday money, and Christmas ($300). That alone is $1300ish. I have to raise $2700 more. I'm hoping to get a job this winter/next spring, and make about $1000 from that. I think I will have to fundraise the remaining $1700 or get donations from people.
That is basically what is going on right now; I am trying to raise the money. Maybe I shouldn't have bought that Dunkin' Donuts coffee last night?
Top five countries as of now:
1.) Italy
2.) Sweden
3.) Argentina
4.) Belgium
5.) Brazil
