Update #12: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!! 24 hours to go!

Posted on March 9, 2010

Have I said it enough? You all are AMAZING.
In a 24 hour time period you've just about met the goal we set yesterday of raising $3K more!

The fundraising for our project ends at midnight EST tomorrow March 10th.

Please keep on doing what you're doing to spread the word to blogs. It's working.
As I told you before I've been working with some people interested in the project and hopefully by tonight should have their contribution which will be huge for all of us. In the mean time... keep pushing! I'll do the same.

And none of that could have happened without the support from the international community that was shown in a worldwide event IC held called THE RESCUE: http://www.invisiblechildren.com/media/videos/detail.php...
