Procrastination and adult ADD

Man! There are hundreds of causes I have meant to donate to, but things have drawn out and in the end something else have come up. I have done my share of money raising for good causes, but to actually send off a check somehow have seemed a much larger obstacle. I have this great excuse for my faulties as being one of those kids with ADHD 40 years ago, who simply never got diagnosed...and only recently become aware that there is a reason why I procrastinate, why I have a totally disordered desk, why I do 1000 things at the same time, why I have very short concentration span, unless I am really interested in the subject...and why I sometimes totally put my foot in my mouth saying things I later regret. So yes, the excuse for procrastination will always be adult ADD...In spite of all this.....I DID IT!!!!

Donation at last for Satipo road

I finally did it! I donated 10 dollars to the Satipo road project. And it was not difficult!  Just go to RainForest Partnership's Global Giving page and donate via credit card or Paypal. As easy as 1-2-3!

I have been raising money for this project by running a marathon. I have also hustled our clients. I have talked to the communities over and over again about conservation and eco-tourism - and I have brought 6 farmers from communities in Central Peru to Mindo in Ecuador so they could see with their own eyes that conservation, sustainable devlopement and ecotourism is good business.

After the Ecuador trip, coming to Calabaza on the Satipo road (Pampa Hermosa district) I was very pleased to see the kids having had a drawing contest. My eyes filled with tears in joy experiencing that the all the talks and the trip to Ecuador had this effect. 
Even more important now is that RainForest Partnership have adopted the project and are doing great fund-raising. 30000 dollars shall be raised to build a community lodge and  to train the community in dealing with tourists.

This is important. RP has a great chance to win the Green Open Challange with your help. Presently, RP is number 2. There are great bonuses to be won for the projects that place highest. The top three (3) projects that raise the most funds will also receive supplementary cash bonuses from GlobalGiving of $10,000, $5,000, and $3,000 respectively. The top three (3) projects with the greatest number of unique donors will be awarded a bonus of $4,000, $2,000, and $1,000 respectively.

I hope I can persuade 1000 people to donate 10 dollars each. If I can climb the procrastination wall, so can you! And I promise I shall fight procrastination every day for the rest of the project period until July 30. That is 160 dollars from me - and 16 hurdles to climb. I only ask you to do it once!
