Upon reading what I just posted below, I realized two things. One, being creative with colors and type is best left to those who actually know what they're doing. And, two, that I forgot to tell those of you generous enough to donate that you'll need to email me to let me know if you'd like me to list your blog link or logo. Needless to say, you may remain anonymous if you like.
Just found out that we can blog while on the trip! So you can follow along here as we find ourselves, well, we have no idea where yet, because part of the challenge is that they don't tell you where you're going until you're on the plane, which means no one has any way to prepare. We do know we'll be in China on April 12th because we had to get a visa in advance. We have to take photos of everywhere we go to prove that we've done the scavenge, so we'll have lots of great photos to share!
Remember, all donations are fully tax-deductible and you can specify which charity you'd like to support. Whether or not you're able, or inclined, to donate, Mia and I would be thrilled if you would write a post about this, with a link to the info on our website, click here. My first linkee (God bless her witty, lovely self!) is Paige of Life Goes On I Think, who's quite the world traveler herself.

Hi friends,
I am so excited for both of you and just made a donation which makes me even happier!!! It thrills me to give to such great charities. My brother just did a doctors without borders trip as a doc as well and he loved every minute of it. Thank you for your example. Much luck and fun to you both!!!!

Hey there Claire,
I was so looking forward to meeting you in Baton Rouge in April. This Global Scavenger Hunt is so much more improtant, though. I wish you and Mia all the best! I am sure there will be another conference someday!

Hi Claire and Mia! I want to congratulate Mia for her article--how exciting! Even more exciting is your upcoming adventure! Wow-that'll be so great and it's so neat you two are doing this, and together! You both are amazing. We'll never forget meeting you and spending time with you both in Madison. We think of you and our experience often, it made such an impact on the girls and all of us. Hanna and I (and her brother) are leaving Friday for our own Habitat adventure. We are going to the Dominican Republic for a week to build homes in Nagua. Hanna and I went last year and it was the best experience in every way and we can't wait to go back. It was so amazing it's hard to put into words. I'm sure you will feel the same way and then some. Around the world in 23 days! What a great opportunity!! Have safe travels and looking forward to hearing all about it. Enjoy! Deb
