I've re-posted the funded by me project on facebook. As I was working, I realized that I need to update both people who has given me funds and people who has shown interest, so they will give me money. In the end I wrote about 10 e-mails and spent a whole day working with fund raising for Excellent. It is hard work and many of the people I mailed has not even answered. It feels really sad that it is so hard to find interested people sometimes. I think that it is hard for people to realize and understand how a day in the Mathare slums look like because if they did I'm sure they would give me some money. I'm doing my best to educate them, but some are not even interested... What world do we live in when people only think of themselves and the ones close to them? Why can't they open their hearts and minds for the bigger picture? Or just send me an e-mail replying that they are not interested?
I'm aslo thinking about contacting big Swedish companies, for sponsring. Money would be good, but there are some products that we need as well...... need to think more and develop some kind of strategy. My uncle gave me some tips on how to proceed and new ideas on people to contact. I have to keep on working hard. It is like everything you do needs to be redone often. I will keep you posted!
