Hey! So I have lot's of updates! So here's number one. We gotta new chapter in Florida. It all started when Ben and I went to go speak at a Mission Discovery camp. After we spoke Zach came up and got our email. Then he emailed us saying that his church was gonna start doing Together We CAN Make a Difference too. We were so excited! Then a few months later we got a check for $104.00 !!! That brings our grand total up to $4,227.00 !!!! Thanks Zach and Peninsular Christian Church. 9 Comments Wow, the last time I blogged was April! It sure is good to be back! So we went to the recycling center again in May and got $450!!!!! WOW!! Isn't that AWESOME! Thanks Mr. Tony for letting us use your truck and thanks Jessie for coming along with us!! It was awesome!I'll post some pics soon! (really!) First to start off this post, the World Water Day party went awesome! I promise that I'll post as soon as I upload the pics. But this post is to say that we are taking cans to the recycling center April 1st!!! Bring your cans!!!! And don't forget to email us if you have any questions!! cans4water@yahoo.com ~Michaela for Together We CAN Make a Difference I just emailed my Children pastor and Sunday School teacher to ask them if we could incorporate Together We CAN Make a Difference in our Children worship and in Sunday School. Waiting for them to email back!!! I'll post pics and tell you all about it as soon as possible! And if you want a T-shirt please email us at our new email............. cans4water@yahoo.com ~Michaela for Together We CAN Make a Difference Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I've been pretty busy. A couple days ago we were eating pizza and my dad told me that Together We CAN Make a Difference has a new place that will now regularly donate their cans! Also did you know that March 22nd is World Water Day? I'm planning a World Water Party!!! I post pics soon!! Bye for now!! ~ Michaela for Together We CAN Make a Difference!! We have so many giants bags of cans that we barely have any room left in one side of out garage! That's a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing because...... think of how many pounds of cans that could be!!! And it's a bad thing because..... we can't get to our bikes, chalk, paint etc. So our mom decided that each of us (that is Ben, Luke, Mom, and I) will crush 50 cans a day! Together that's 200 cans! To see pics of us crushing cans to to read more about it go to www.cans4water.weebly.com/1/post/2009/10/crushing-cans.html (this is not a link.) I've got to go crush some cans! See ya! ~Michaela for Together We CAN Make a Difference~ OK. I'm back with more about Mrs. Judy. If you noticed from the photo in my resent post that she works in an office you should understand this post more, if not I'm going to go ahead and tell you that she works in an office. So anyway, for Christmas instead of gifts, all of her friends that work with her gave he donations to send to Together We CAN Make a Difference! Doesn't that rock! All together we received $120.00! Thanks Mrs. Judy and friends! ~Michaela~ I'm back! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while! Lots has happened since the last time I blogged. First, our friend, Mrs. Judy arranged a trip for us to meet Mr. Kevin Colvett, a man that actually travels around the world and builds water wells himself!! I learned alot about water wells, like how long it takes to build a well, how much arm strentgh it takes to pump the well, and a bunch of other awesome stuff! It was a great experience! IN THE OFFICE WITH MR. KEVIN AND MRS. JUDY That's all for now! I'll tell you more with my next blog. ~Michaela~ These past couple of weeks have been amazing!!!! We have gotten two big donations!!!! One from a very generous home group at another church, and another from the Women's Ministry at our church!!!!! Both of those combined is $1960.00!!!! With donations and cans together we have raised $2800.00!!!! We would just like to send a HUGE thank you to both of you!!!! - Together We CAN Make a Difference On Thursday morning we loaded up the cans and got on the road. To the recycling center! Luckily our friend let us borrow his truck to bring all the huge bags of cans! When we got there Ben, Luke and I, and this time Gabe, got out of the van hopped into the truck and got workin' on pouring cans into a huge bin! We filled two of these huge bins! I know you wanna know how much, well here's the digits! We had 583lbs. And we raised $226.00!!! All together we have raised $800!!! That's eight shares of a deep water well!!! Yea!! |
