The teepee became a Christmas tree, no leaves. Just a bamboo structure with lights. We all love it. Check it out on my Facebook site. I built it from scratch….bamboo poles from a throwaway pile on the lot next door, tied together in teepee shape with leaves from a banana tree on our property (my son’s house in Todos Santos, Mexico). The family loves it. And we assume Santa did too since he was very generous to five-year-old Cris.
After a long absence, I am thinking again about the website and the fundraising for Let”s Get Global. I spent a portion of today studying something called a LogFrame. It’s a carefully worked out logical way to present our project to foundations. I need a couple more days to live with the structure. Logic has never been my strength. But I can see how clear and sensible the logframe is….and I want to go after that funding soon with the best presentation I can create. Once I get it down, I will be working with the US office of Servas, our fiscal sponsor. Most important at this point is to get the website up, the applications for funding out there, and a coordinator to work with. I am so totally a team worker and I can’t wait until we can hire a staff, not just a coordinator but a couple of others to handle things like the social networking, major PR, and volunteer coordination. It’ll happen. Just not as quickly as I’d like. Happy New Year.
