Friends of Africa fundraiser

Hey everyone! Been quite a while since I've posted, but here I go!!

I've got a fundraiser in the works! It's posted on Facebook, for those of you with that technology. For those of you without it, I recommend you get it. If you're someone who refuses to 'conform' to this 'impersonal method of communication', or just doesn't understand the internets enough to create a face for your book, I'll fill you in on some of the details! I've just copied most of this straight off of Facebook, to satisfy my laziness...

Where: Collin's Brewhouse, 33 King W. in Dundas.
When: February 13, 8pm.

Come on down to Dundas to get Trevor out of Canada!!

This is going to be an epic night you don't want to miss.

Have a blast and support an incredible organization! I volunteered at a HIV/AIDS organization in Nigeria last year. They've asked me to come back for almost 2 years. Surprisingly, AIDS work isn't a high-paying industry, so I need to raise all my own expenses to live in Africa for 2 years! Help me out and have a great time doing it!

Live music performed by the awesome guys of Miasmata

So yeah, that's my fundraiser, it's going to be pretty sweet. Marley, a friend of mine, is helping out a ton. There is NO way I'd be able to have done half of this organizing with out her. You rock Mar!

So, come on out and have fun!

As for news, I've just heard that the training I'll be taking in Nigeria is going to be from March 4-6. So I probably need to be there before that... Now all I'm waiting for is the rest of the funds to come in!

That's all for now! Next post hopefully won't take so long.
