And So It Begins!

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Adventurists LogoWe have been called foolish. We’ve been called out of our minds. We’ve been called awesome. Perhaps we are all these things and more? One thing we are certain of is our commitment to this adventure. Our mission is to raise awareness and cash for a deserving charity, while adventuring through Europe and Africa.

To draw attention to our cause and to make life all the more interesting, we’ll be undertaking a journey from London, England to Douala, Cameroon (that’s in West Africa). We expect to travel via West and Central Africa and will post our travel plans as they develop. We plan on making this trip quite interesting and hope to have you join us.

If you have any questions, just email me (Jessie), Doug, or Aparna directly!

  • 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!

    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!!!
