This Month we are working with an orginazation called Hearts in Action that focuses on edjucation and conservation in the Mayan Biosphere. We have already had many amazing opportunities to serve here on the race and we haven’t even finished month 2. At the end of this month I have a fundraising deadline. In order to stay on the field with my team I need to raise $2,400 by the end of this month. Please consider contributing and making the rest of my year on the World Race possible. All donations are tax deductible and you just have to go to the main page of my blog and click the “donate” tab. Thank you so much and God bless!
