Thus far, $4,400 of the necessary $8,000 has been raised! As of today, the goal shown in the red box to the right has been updated to reflect only the remaining $3,600.
[Also, please note that the actual deadline isn't until at least 2011, in case that is not clear.]

In the spring of 2000, I met the most AMAZING 10 year old Zulu girl, Nomzamo, while I was studying abroad in South Africa. I hope that the below information about her, photos of her, etc. will inspire you to join me as I raise $8,000 to fund her college education....

The Starfish Story
The story is told of a man walking along a beach the morning after a storm had passed through. The sand was littered with starfish that had been washed ashore.
Down the beach he noticed a young boy picking up starfish and throwing them into the water. As he approached, he asked what the boy was doing. The boy didn’t hesitate as he explained that the sun was coming up and it would kill the starfish if they didn’t get back into the ocean.
The man laughed and said, “There are thousands of starfish on miles of beach, you can’t possibly make a difference.” As the boy picked up another starfish and threw it back into the ocean he said, “Well, it sure will make a difference to that one.”
