An Open Letter to Our Fans

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Dear Faithful Followers of the Sandbox Savants,

It’s been almost a month now since our Adventure ended and I barely feel back in the groove of my Boston life. Graduate school is tough and life sure didn’t miss me while I was away, it just kept on flying by with all its responsibilities. As I struggle to get back into the swing of things, my nights filled with dreams of beautiful African vistas and my early mornings with human rights law readings, I somehow finally managed to find time to upload most of our photos. Check them out! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandboxsavants/sets/

Yes, it is 1:30am in Boston. Sleep is overrated, right?

There are many photos, so I am trying to post a selection of those from Flickr on Facebook as well. WE MADE IT! Yay! All because of YOU!

Also, I wanted to take a moment to tell you that another team just surpassed us as Top Fundraiser for the rally by a tiny $120. YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO DONATE AND HELP US REMAIN NUMBER 1. Many of you have already given a great deal to our charity and to us, and we thank you! For those of you who expressed regret that you never remembered to donate, NOW IS THE TIME.  The team that just passed us had two cars and more people, and we are ONLY $120 behind. So, if you are interested in giving a little more to our fantastic charity Send A Cow as recognition to the awesomeness of us making it home alive, check out our donate page: http://sandboxsavants.com/donate/  Click on the PINK donate button.

Lastly, please note that because of YOU (between your donations and the auction of our car in Cameroon) our team raised roughly $7,500 for charity. Pretty damn cool.

You all rock my world!

More blog posts to come on www.sandboxsavants.com, so for those of you who have not lost faith keep an eye out. While you wait for more of our beautiful prose, check out our photos on Flickr!

Thank You!

Kribi

  • About Us

    Welcome to the website of the Sandbox Savants!

    We are a team of three crazy individuals (Aparna, Doug, and Jessie) embarking on an overland voyage from London, England to Cameroon in July of 2008. Why? To raise money and awareness for a very deserving charity that does development work in Africa, while attempting a fun adventure of slightly questionable wisdom.

    Take a look around the site and check back often for updates about our journey!

  • Donate

    You can help us! Our goal is to raise a minimum of $2,000 $3,200 (WE DID IT, BUT WE WANT TO RAISE MORE!)and then finance the trip.
  • UPDATE: Thanks to YOUR help, we have SURPASSED our second goal of $3,200 and raised an AMAZING $4,464 so far for Send A Cow, making us the top fundraiser to date of the Africa Rally!!! Donations can continue while we are on the road, so donate away and help ensure we stay in 1st place!!!
