How To Go on a Mission

My travels have taken me to six of the seven continents in the world. A research expedition to Antarctica is on my bucket list. People ask if traveling is very expensive. It CAN be expensive, but if you really want to see the world, you can do it.
Since graduation from college, my goal has been to go on a mission. My application to the Peace Corps was turned down twice. So now, I am very excited to have the opportunity to go to Nepal and assist with operating a translation business.

To bring everyone up to speed, my meanderings around the world wide web led me into learning more about publishing interactive digital books. There are several different formats for ebooks including Kindle, ibooks, Nook, kobo, and Adobe. Overdrive can be used to locate ebooks and audiobooks at libraries. Then the book can be downloaded to your ereader, computer, or phone.
In exploring this media, an opportunity with Wycliffe Associates arose. I applied online, and was quickly contacted by Human Resources the following day. http://www.wycliffeassociates.org/
After interviews with Human Resources and the Program Director, we got down to discussing costs. Approximately $1500/month is necessary to cover my expenses. I plan to discuss my fundraising efforts in this blog; and then, with success, my donors will get updates through posts on this website.
