that just gives you an amazing feeling doesn't it.
my birthday falls on national aids day and the past few years i have recently started embracing it rather than feeling like it was a bad reminder on my birthday.
I try to donate to at least one aids related charity every year around my birthday, and i am so glad to hear that we accomplished this.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Wow..my mouth just dropped when i saw that number! It's really amazing to see that so much can be done, in such a short amount of time, when everyone pitches in. We are proving to the world that we are not the passive and spoiled generation they thought we were.
Congratulations everyone, we did it! :]

God is so amazing and shows up so big in the smallest of ideas. Once again I have seen Him do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever think or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). I am honored to have partaken in this and hope that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what we can do with what God has blessed us with!! Thank you so much for your willingness to be used and for being so passionate about what you do! Thank you Hanson for doing more with your music and talent than just make money for yourself!!

God is so good! I love to see His faithfulness in providing for this school! It is our calling to fight for the injustices in this world, and GIVING is a way we can do that! I pray that we all continue to open our eyes to the needs around us and use our time, our voices, our finances, our LOVE, and just ourselves to meet those needs! Thank you Bryan and Hanson for pushing our generation to be a generation of ACTION and LOVE!

I'm so proud of what has been accomplished over the last week. I want to thank Bryan and Hanson again for their amazing work and I'm just so honoured that I could b a part of it. We can no longer sit back and pass on responsibility- we have to work together. With $14,000 the school has the power to equip those children with education. That is the greatest gift we could give.
