Another fund-raising Tool from People to People

It may seem crass to ask for gifts, but this is a great way to let people know that instead of traveling to the mall they can help you travel to Europe!

It is a way to send e-cards to people who know and love you so that you can ask for their assistance as you raise funds for your trip.

Astro-Man travels to Australia

During our trip to Australia I took a variety of photos with my little astronaught...that had been on my school keychain. I put in one Seattle picture and my sister, Sharon, reading to him because LITERACY is important.

Otherwise...the rest of the photos are from our travels in Australia...what a ride!
