I saw this picture today online today and it was thought provoking to me.
Its an interesting cartoon on how we humans polute and dump into our oceans and waterways and how will it affect the future chain of life. If humans derived from evolution (which is what I believe being an Anthropology major and all) isn't it safe to say that other organisms and species have derived from water as well? In that sense, how many current and potential life forms are we currently killing because of our lifestyles. It just made me think....
Anyway, fundraising is going good. Thanks to everyone who has contributed! I'm currently at 18% of my goal. A ways to go yet but I am still confident. I sent letters today to a bunch of Peace Organizations in Minnesota so hopefully they will see the value in this adventure and support me as well, since we have the same missions.
I was recently put in touch with the 2011 YPN participant from the US and one from South Africa. I'm really excited to talk to them about their experiences and have them help reaffirm why I'm going to leave my life for a few months, not make any money and go to a foreign country. (Canada is foreign, even for a Minnesotan) Thanks Lisa Pung for making that connection!
