Planning Stage

Hello! This is the first blog post! Hopefully one of many... 

Our team picture is up now! These are some eager individuals, excited for this service opportunity. 

I'd like to introduce our treasurers: Belinda Olij and Evan Vandervelde! They met with EduDeo's HANDS team coordinator today at lunch to discuss finances. They're already hard at work to organize our fundraising. 

Matt and his dad, in the meantime, are collecting addresses of businesses to get donations! We're hoping that this will be successful. 

The rest of the team is busy making letters for their churches to create awareness of our trip, and to recieve donations as well. 

Thomas is planning a fundraiser soup day at Guido for next week Friday with three other team members. Students will be able to buy a cup full of delicious, warm soup on a cold November day. 

That's all for now, 

God bless.
