UPDATE: I can't believe I'm so close to my goal - we raised 4/5 of my $5K target in just one week, enough to give over 60 people clean water! I shouldn't be surprised though. My family and friends are role models of generosity.

I wanted to let you know that, instead of having my name emblazoned on a tap stand, I will ask to have this printed: Ku bw'urukundo nkunda u Rwanda. It means "With love for Rwanda."

Thank you for donating to my 30th birthday campaign. I am so happy to know my friend, Gratien, will have a better life because of us. Check out the September Campaign site to learn more by clicking the logo at the top right of this webpage.

Keep in mind, 100% of every dollar you give will go straight to water projects in Rwanda (c:w even covers credit card fees)!

P.S. If you donate $100+, I'll thank you with an original poem-on-a-postcard from Rwanda or the next cool place I visit. Make sure to email me your address!
