Hi NS,
this summer I will be travelling to India on a Habitat for Humanity trip to help build homes for those who are less fortunate and have nothing. In order me me to do so, I will need donations to help finance my trip and also to donate to Habitat to cover the cost of supplies, equipment and etcetera.
I'd appreciate it if you could visit the site I made up and even better if you could donate to the cause.

the link is as follows:http://www.habitat.org/cd/gv/participant/participant.aspx?pid=9211-6106

thanks again for your time

Why should I give you any of my money? Just because you're trying to do something that probably won't have any noticeable effect in the world? Here's a thought: EARN the money lol Then get back to us ok. lol

Wow, I asked a legitimate question and you all jump over me.

Lucero, honestly why can't you earn the money yourself? It is YOUR trip.

It is great what you are doing but you are asking a ski site that is so tight on money most wont even donate $5 to their beloved site.

wern't you posting videos about eating sunchips to make the world a better place? you of all people should be jumping all over this oppertunity to do something to help the good in the world.

lets examine how habitat for humanity works... people volunteer their time and efforts to build a house for the unfortunate, they live in the same shitty conditions the people they are helping and do all this for free.

he won't stay in a 4 star hotel, he's not going on vacation, he is hoping others might be able to send a little love across the way to those in india and you shit all over it because you want him to pay for everything himself then ontop of that sacrifice his time to build the house? Dontaions come from people who can't sacrifice the time to help, but want to do something good.

a habitat for humanity does bring a noticeable effect of good to the world. the family that lives in it is noticably happy. do you think if your house got blown up that it would make any noticable effect in the world by your qualifications? NO... but does that make it any less wrong to do such a thing? No again.


get off your high horse, especialy if you're all into the whole eat a bag of sunchips and sing and laugh to make the world a better place and send some love to india.

hey, I sent 10 bucks on your page thingy. I know it's not much, but if enough people give you a little bit, it'll build up. Good luck.
