Nicaragua 5K Run: On May 19, I will be participating in a 5K run to raise money for a Christian school our church congregation is building in Nicaragua. In Feb of 2007, our ministry (Promise Int'l Fellowship) opened its first primary school in Leon, Nicaragua. The PIF vision is to establish quality evangelical schools throughout Nicaragua in order to equip today's children to become capable leaders of tomorrow. To continue the vision, we need to build a primary school this year. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for the initial construction phase.

Your contributions, however much or little, will help. If you are interested in making a donation for the school, please email me at 5k@soundz.org. You may know me well, not so well, or not at all, but you can all help and your contributions will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. As an added bonus, whoever is the 1st person to make a donation from reading this note will be the winner of an 8x12 print (or equivalent) from my gallery. Just say you saw this note on my Journal.

P.P.S. I may make more prizes available in the future if there is enough interest.

I'm doing some house cleaning on my DA. Many old deviations deleted, hopefully to be replaced by material more deserved to be posted. I apologize for all those who had commented or favorited.

I'm updating on DA much more these days. In fact, I've slowed down on my blogging & spending more time here. I've even started to explore the forums here & the different groups that help you get more exposure for your art. I'm still not ready to go 100% with my creative side, but maybe in a year or so, I can be doing more interesting things and not be working so hard. Not that work is so un-interesting ..
