...Is absolutely invaluable. I really really appreciate it and its upkeep. Also, I am thrilled that I recieve regular email updates from the Institute, that keep me both informed and active. I just filled out the Obama electronic postcard that took me all of 5 minutes but was an easy way to help the cause. I appreciate everything the Institute staff has done in the way of this program and keeping the cause going =). Keep up the amazing work everyone including fellow student activists!!!!

yea I know airfare to Uganda is on the upside of $3000. I bet Miss Hanavan would go with us over Christmas if we could get the money together, but maybe it would take longer to get the money, like 2 yrs... are you a freshmen or a sophomore?

Emma, I say this to everyone. Don't let anyone ever change your dreams. They are your own and keep them that way. Some of my family is the exact same way but you can't allow their opinions to change your plans.
