Here are a couple pics of Marquette Bugg and I, the coleaders of the Gen. Min. team. Pics of team members to come!


2-19-07 Fundraising Update

The official fundraising total for the team today is: $2,575.

Each team member has put $500 toward their own fundraising, which leaves about $2,400 per person which must be raised by team funraising events and the sponsorship of their home and school communities.

Our goal is to raise $36,000 so that our entire group can go to Kenya.

As of 2/19/07 we are at 7% of our goal.

KENYA!!!!!!!! Help us go!

Hi friends!!!

Beginning today (February 20th, 2007), this is one way that you can find out about our upcoming trip to Kenya in May of 2007.

The team consists of 15 undergraduates from Baylor University, and two graduate student leaders (myself and my esteemed colleague, Marquette Bugg). We are traveling to Nairobi, Kenya to work in the urban and slum areas of the city, mostly with children.

We will be posting photos of the team members and our fundraising events as we move closer to our departure. While we are gone (or when we return) we will post our reports and photos at this site (and correstponding sites as needed).

If you have any questions about the trip, please contact me at tiffani_riggers@baylor.edu.

Thanks for your help in getting us to Kenya!
