First of all, thank you so much to people who have spread the word about the contest/cause. Don’t forget, if you haven’t already entered, you can win MAC makeup or a really sweet t-shirt. All you have to do is link to the original contest post in your own blog OR send an email about it to ten people! Enter now and help us spread the word about funding Marcelo’s education!!!

Second of all, I can’t find any sort of financial progress tracker to put in the sidebar except for things that count paypal donations, but I just wanted to update you guys that with what people have pledged so far we have enough to cover the first semester’s matricula plus almost for the first month! You all ROCK for helping me get the word out!

Thirdly, believe it or not, on our last group blogging posts, in the past two days I’ve added a couple new people’s links, as people are just now finishing up on blogging about What Chileans Think About Gringos….and one of the people who was just added is a Chilean which really adds a lot to our discussion — getting the opinion straight from the horse’s mouth. So check it out!

And last but not least, the topics for our next group blog have been narrowed down to the top five out of our last big vote so please vote again! I’ll leave voting up through Wednesday night, announce the topic on Thursday and then whoever wants can write about it on Friday.
