Hello Blogees [If I am the blogger, then that makes you the ee's.]:
You can't say that I don't try... After my somewhat limited success in raising funds by begging, I have decided on a new tact. I have been a photographer for many more years than the students that I teach at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital School of Nursing. I have never wanted to make being a photographer a business - besides the fact that I am way too sloppy to be a business person. However, many persons have suggested that I sell my pictures. So I have combined the needs of the school with my pleasure in taking photographs. I have been putting some at: RedBubble.
All [or any] profits that I make I will use to support my work in Guyana. This does seem like a decent compromise. If you need some unique greeting cards or a framed print for a special gift to a special friend... Then, please check out my offerings.
I think that I have arranged the advertizing schlock to appear on the blog [x2] - to make spending your money even easier. So.... Take a peek!

"Nothing" Accomplished - Thanks
All my hard training paid off as I kept my edge for the whole grueling event. It will take some time for me to get a total of funds raised as there is a post strike here in Canada.
All in all, it was probably not my greatest idea and definitely not my worst. What I tried to accomplish was bring some attention to Tony and my efforts to get our students connected to the great electronic resources on the net.
While I clearly didn't raise enough money for netbooks for each of the first year students, we will have about 6 new well-equipped laptops for the students at the Cafe. Maybe we will restrict the new computers for students only - otherwise it seems that they are confiscated by staff.
I'll include a picture of me in my uniform: a custom-designed Guyana T-shirt, official government hat and my own special touch - "Golden Arrowhead" pants. I had to search all over for the yellow, green, red, black and white. I am in conversations with an international clothier about taking the design global.

Only two months left before we head back to Mercy... Thanks for your support.
