Dear Friends,

I am leaving Wednesday for Africa and I wanted to send this email out to thank everyone for their amazing outpour of support. As of Friday, we have raised over $35,000 for the refugees in Chad and Darfur…most of that coming from small, personal donations. My letter was forwarded to over a thousand people, which proves that together we can and will make a difference.

This trip has evolved into a once in a lifetime experience, as we are now being allowed to actually go into the Sudan and deliver medical supplies to the refugee camps in Darfur. I am excited, and a little nervous, but I know how important this opportunity is.

Thank you again for your support.

I am going to Africa because of you.

Josh
