Going Somewhere

Please check these out. The first link is my fundraising page for the April 25th, Break the Silence event. The second link is a video the Invisible Children founders/boss-men sent out to those of us signed up. http://ic.stayclassy.org/member/ic-fundraising?fcid=38455 http://vimeo.com/21419843

(at least figuratively) And I pray that those affected by this tsunami/quake directly would get the care and help needed. For those who were injured, I pray that they be healed; for those lost, I pray they be found-even if it's only a body, at least the family can have peace of mind; for those...
