We raised 275 dollars!!!
That's right :)
The Invisible Children Club has been making hemp bracelets for the past three-four weeks. I have to admit, it was getting tedious and annoying and neither Shu, nor myself thought we were actually going to much for them. We set out at table at 11 today though and stayed until 3. And you know what? We sold every damn bracelet! Jermaine donated some of his ceramic pots too which we offered up for 5 dollar donations. It was fantastic. The best part was the people who caught me off guard. I had some lacrosse guy drop us a 10 dollar bill and I saw Bridget walking to class who also handed me a 10 dollar bill. I think that was my favorite part - getting caught off guard by the people who did donate and show interest. I really, really gained some respect for people on campus. It feels absolutely amazing to know we're actually doing something. This is the first time Shu and I have been able to look at what we've done and feel truly good about it.
