Wow in the News! This is so exciting! Citizen Philanthopist Spotlight of the Week!
So I don't think I've ever been in the news before and this is so exciting!

Check it out I hope you enjoy!

This is my new Citizen Philanthropist project through a DC based NGO called 1 Well. They allow regular people to give back to a cause they believe in in a creative way. I'm chosen to auction off my Latin American photographs to raise funds to build a new youth outreach center in Ica, Peru an area that has vastly devastated in the August 2007 earthquake. The website is still being added to and next week will have links to the auction site on eBay through Mission Fish as well as the prints I'll be selling. I'm hugely excited about this project because I've tried for two years now to partner with an existing NGO to do work in education in rural Latin America, well I finally got my chance and I am sooo excited!
I hope you guys will pass the word along and the website will continue to be updated with progress on the fundraising and the site project in Peru.

Wow Sept just went through the window!
Wow well my time in Flagstaff is flying by! Sept has gone by so fast I haven't even had time to go dance. I'm been kept incredibly busy with my work, but I absolutely love it.
Last weekend I went and explored Petrified Forest and the Painted desert, I'll have pictures of this and the two national monuments I went to a few weeks back later this week when I have my camera next to me.
I got to play professor for the day today and that was great, like Elon NAU has a freshman common reading, and since I felt that all of Elon's chooses were always fantastic books I volunteered to lead one of the student discussions and I got to do that today. If was great getting to do something outside my job description for the last week as I've been preparing for the class so it's been fun.
I love Flagstaff I barely even drive anymore because there is such a great public transport system here I've used it to get pretty much everywhere.
Some of the exciting events coming up for me are attending a college fair to advertise our new center, golf tournaments for fundraisers at the Y (don't worry I will not be golfing haha), I'm heading down to Tucson and Mexico about mid month to join my university as they come down for a trip with Border Links. I actually get to learn more about that tomorrow as NAU is also planning on sending students in the future.
So hopefully back onto the dancing calendar this month.
Hope everyone is doing well, keep me posted with you lives! I miss living so far away from all my close friends.
Until next time :)
