Just a couple of tips on raising funds for your adventure. Remember, when you ask for something, create value for the person you are asking. For example, if you were asking a group to help sponser your trip, explain that you would give them a special presentation about what you learned when you return. You might even prepare them a meal, or put together a cookbook of recipies from your travels.
Also, remember that friends and family members who might not be able to help you financially with their money, might be able to give you assistance in a fund raising activity. For example, they might not be able to make a cash donation, but might be willing to bake some goodies for a bake sale, or help wash cars at a car wash. By the way, feel free to ask me for advice on the best time to have a car wash, and some reasons why a "Free" car wash might make you even more money.
Remember there are some prime babysitting opportunities coming up soon. Many families with young children would really appreciate the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping without their children. Consider taking in a group on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon! Also, holiday parties and New Years Eve celebrations provide opportunities for babysitting.
There are a lot more tips for fund raising in your information packet. Just remember to be creative!
