Cookies, $0.50!!

In between writing my Master's thesis and reading research articles, I am brainstorming ways I can finance this trip to Cochabamba! The cost of a plane ticket, living accommodations, food and any resources I can provide the school, church or orphanage that I volunteer with are the main expenses

As you may know, I like to bake, so naturally this came to mind first. Selling sugar cookies on campus is promising option numero uno.

Also, just to throw this out there, any good will donation that you would like to send me to help fund my work in Bolivia would be greatly appreciated! (Some of you may remember my travels to Jamaica in 2004 to teach summer school with other students from Boston College? That trip was entirely funded by the help of my friends and family...rock on friends and family!) Also, can I mention tax deduction?!?!...Maryknoll is a recognized foundation by the Internal Revenue Service!**
If the spirit is moving you and you would like to donate to my Bolivia Fundraising Effort, checks can be addressed to "Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers" and sent to:
Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers
c/o Geri Lynch
P.O. Box 305
Maryknoll, NY 10545

In the memo line, or somewhere at the bottom of the check, please include: TO BE ADDED TO RAY FINCH'S MISSION ACCOUNT IN BOLIVIA FOR MEGAN BENSLEY'S WORK.
**Keep checking back to this site to see how I am using my funds once I get down to business in Bolivia!**
