Donate Now widget is set up!

Hello everyone! Things are going very smoothly as far as my application goes! I am done with everything that I can fill out online, but I still triple check everything everyday of course...  All that I have left to do is get all of the forms printed, signed, and uploaded, then I will be done!  All of the forms are signed, except for the health certificate, which is in the process of being signed.  Come to think of it, the health certificate and my passport are the only things that I have left to do!  Like I said in my last post, my passport is already applied for, so it should be here near the end of the month (but hopefully sooner...)

Exciting news!  My blog was accepted to be a featured blog on the AFS website!  I had emailed the representative on February 3rd, and on the 4th, I got an email saying that I was accepted!  I looked on the site, and saw that my name was in the Italy section!  AHH.


So my next step was to apply for the Sponsor and AFSer fundraising opportunity, which I did.  I received an email today that I had been accepted to that as well!  Which leads me to my next point.  The program provides a widget where people can donate money that goes directly towards my tuition!  It is a safe, secure way to fundraise, and that way I don't have to worry about sending the money.  I would encourage you all to donate, and help send me on the trip of a lifetime.  I like to think of it as a subscription to my blog, haha.  The widget is on the upper right hand side of my blog.  It is pretty big, kinda hard to miss!

Have a good day!
