So after months of no postings I think I am back and that I am back for good. I won't even try make excuses for why I haven't been blogging because the honest truth is that most the time I have just been lazy. This time though I am a man on a mission and through this blog and my other social media sites I am hoping to accomplish a great feat.
In about 7 weeks'time I need to board a plane that is headed to New York City, but there are millions of things to do before I can do that. One of the major things that still need to be done is sourcing complete funding for my tuition, accommodation and living expenses. All together that is approximately US$60 000 for one year.
Enter Project 177. If you haven't heard of Project 177 you need to be more active on social media sites and look it up. The premise of this project is that if I can get 1000 people from across the world to contribute R177 toward my studies then that would cover my entire year's tuition. Another aspect, although wishful, is that if 1000 people could contribute R300 then that would cover both my tuition and accommodation for one year. So if you are reading this blog I ask (but more earnestly expect) that you share this through every social media network on which you are active. I have no doubt in my mind that somehow, somewhere, some way, 1000 people can join and rally together for this one cause. I mean who doesn't have R177 to donate?
As time draws closer for my departure to the Big Apple I will definitely be blogging more. I will especially be blogging a lot more when I'm actually in the Empire State because I think it will make for a much more interesting read. From my days in class to tours of the city... expect to read it all here!
In other news, I am so happy to actually mention that numbers 3,5, 6,7, and 8 are all either accomplished already six months into the year, or are ongoing successes.
Looking forward to many more interesting posts, especially from New York City.
Adios
