January update!

January has come and gone—can anyone believe it? Well, it has been a fabulous month in the realm of the project. I’m not announcing how much money has been donated yet because to be honest I haven’t counted it yet. My plan is to count on the 1st of every month, and I will fill you guys in every once in a while, just in case you’re curious. I have been praying for success with the project almost every day, and God has provided just that! I have gotten to talk with a lot of old friends, new friends, teachers, parents, and other people that I love through Project 2009, and that is a HUGE blessing! Many people have been asking if a place for donation has been chosen yet, and the answer is no. I will be keeping my eyes and ears open in these next few weeks and months, and I will post options at a later time. I found out that I can even post polls on here, so I can put up information about potential places to donate, and you can all vote on what you like. I am definitely open to suggestions, but keep in mind a few things such as:
1. The fund will be given to/distributed to an organization(s) that are doing great things, but aren’t as well known by the general population. This is because I know that there are small organizations that are trying to do so many great things for the world, but don’t have the funds to do so. Let’s be the ones who provide for them!
2. I would like to be able to involve myself in some way with the organization. This is because I would like to be able to thoroughly describe to all of you what the organization is, and maybe even share personal experiences so you can get a good idea to where the fund is going to.
The last thing I would like to say in this post is this: ask God to show you your strengths and INSPIRE YOU! This is exactly how Project 2009 was born. I was home for Christmas break, and I prayed and prayed for God to show me ways that I could serve him that are unique to me as an individual. After all, God created all of us as His unique children which means my strengths are unique to me and yours are unique to you! He showed me that I have a passion for people and a gift for wanting to connect to everyone I meet. If each of you fabulous people commit to the project, I think it will grow bigger than you or I could ever imagine. For that right there, may I remind you, is the simple idea of this project: if EVERYONE gave just a little bit, so many things in the world could be changed and helped for the greater good.
May God bless you
