Question #5

Final Question:
#5
-What have you done, and what are you planning to do, to contribute to your fundraising efforts?
I have already started a bank account for any money I raise. Last year for my 15th birthday I asked for money to help for my trip to Japan. I received a lot from everyone in the form of cash and checks in my birthday cards. I am very grateful for their generosity.
I am still saving up on cash myself from holiday money and birthday money and allowance. I am cutting on my spending and have been applying to many places for a job to help with my fundraising.
Also I hope to soon get a "Sponsor-an-AFSer" widget and let people know about what I am doing and hoping to receive donations for Japan through that as well.

I have applied for and received a generous scholarship from AFS specifically for Japan. I will soon post the letter I sent AFS to thank them for the money awarded to me.
In addition my local chapter for AFS has been talking with us about a possible amount of money to be given to help me as well. Whether or not I receive anything from anyone, I am thankful for all I have received already and hope that I will be able to raise more money.

A big thank you also goes to anyone reading who has contributed money to help me with my exchange program to Japan. I can hardly express how much it is appreciated.

And that's all of my questions!
Hope that gave a little bit more information about myself and let everyone know a little bit more about me.

Thanks for reading,
