Beta
Theta Pi Sponsorship
Sent out over 300 emails today to my
fellow Beta Theta Pi alumni brothers! It was a relief when the mail failure delivery
messages stopped at 67, meaning I successfully sent about 200. I am
thankful that I joined a group of people who share similar interests as myself
and understand the importance of this experience!
I have received $100 so far and hoping
for around 2K. Plane and essential survival expenses (shelter/water)
were $3500 alone. There are certain expenses I need to get in order: vaccinations
for Hep. A/B, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Malaria, Polio, and Tetanus. I will
need to apply bug repellant constantly since some viruses mentioned above are
carried through those evil bugs we Americans know as mesquites. I will sleep in
a net, etc!
All set with travelers insurance and
Passport! I have insurance till the 21st of March, might need to extend
that when I decide to stay longer than expected.
Anyway, I will keep this updated as
funds come in. I sent Martin Cobb from Nationals some more info on the
progress I am making. All is good and I feel grateful for the sponsors
who have already committed.
GO BETA,
Chris
