... I swear I spend more time trying to find HOW to make a post than the actual process of making a post.
This whole blog thing is confusing me.
Regardless! That isn't why I am writing today!

Today I won a small victory- I convinced my school to do a blood drive! As the title suggests this isn't quite "without borders" but I still wanted to let everyone know! I have been trying for the last year to get the school involved, to get girls involved in this process (my school is all girls) but unfortunately no one would bite. But today- result! The head finally agreed to take my proposal seriously. I might keep y'all updated on the process if anyone shows interest!

I'm not going to harp on for ages about this but, if you are in Australia and reading this- donate blood! 1 in 3 of us will one day need blood and only 1 in 30 donate! Also, if you are anywhere else in the world, hello! And do the same! Look into how you can help others! (I can assure you a quick and easy blood donation is the easiest way to give a helping hand)

Ciao, Edwina!

Mon, 20 Aug 2012 02:00:00 -0700 Hola YPWB! http://ypwb-edwina-o.posterous.com/hola-ypwb http://ypwb-edwina-o.posterous.com/hola-ypwb

YPWB is looking for people to sponsor, and I certainly want to be one of them!

I'm currently studying grade 12 in a slightly rural town in south-east Queensland called Toowoomba. (The land of floods and flower festivals.) Next year I am travelling with a company to China to teach english! Unfortunately I cannot speak a word of Chinese (bar "Ni hao ma") nor do I really know the culture. I'm hoping this adventure will be awe-inspiring and awesome more than over-whelming and overbearing, but going with a group of people and firm support system will make everything more comfortable.
Well, until next time I will be off getting amongst it!
Ciao, Edwina.
