So, April 16th will be our first big fundraising gig. And when I say "gig", I mean literally gig.
My mom is organizing a huge neighborhood yard sale. Besides us using this opportunity to sell off all of our stuff, we will try to raise money by doing two things:
Kerstin will be doing something she is really really good at: Bake cakes and trade those for donations.
I on the other hand will be buskin' with my guitar and my cowboy hat. It might be slightly emberassing. Not because I can't sing. And not because I can't play the guitar very well or can't remember any chords to save my life. It's the fact that all aforementioned conditions are perfectly combined in the ...

Hello and welcome to our new blog.
This is where we will document our trip working as volunteers for one year starting right now with the application and fundraising process.
Glad you're here, hope you come back! :-)
So, we figured it would be kind of sad to visit very beautiful places like Belize and Central / Latin America without some proper camera equipment.
And since our old cam recently broke, we went on amazon and ordered some equipment:
Canon EOS 550d DSLR body
Canon 18-135 lens
Canon 50mm lens
Crumpler Bag
LCD covers
SD-Cards
Panasonic Lumix Point-n-Shoot Digicam
Most of the stuff arrived today. So - playtime! :-)
Just a couple of pictures from yosemite to test drive the new photo album plugin. Seems to work quite nicely.
