A Flower Fundraiser to Attend School Overseas



Hi Everyone,

I'm now writing about my flower fundraiser!  I wasn't writing last month due to a heavy amount of schoolwork but I'll be writing about once a week now that we are getting ready for our next travels.


Normally, we hit the books hard in the months we are not traveling, which is normally October to April. We have very long school days and attend our homeschool six days a week with tutors on three different days, online instruction, and also working with Mama.  But when April ends, we put the books in storage and start our real-world learning by traveling, visiting historical sights, meeting real people from other cultures and in government, touring, and attending events.  We take only laptops and this year, we are taking the Kindle Fire, too.

We learn so much more when we travel and experience real life, talking to real people and doing instead of reading about it.  In the summer, we also attend summer programs every year... and that's where you come in!  Our summer programs vary but this year we will be learning a foreign language in a classroom-based environment.


Before we go off on our next road trip, we are having a fundraiser to help with the costs for our summer program.  We are selling flower bulbs.  Will you please help us out with an online order?  (Orders are shipped right to your home and you pay through the website)




The money we raise will pay for our summer school program overseas, where we will learn to speak a new language!

It looks like we will end up at the International School this summer.  They are located in many countries.  We will probably end up in Asia or South America this summer but either way, we will be at the International School. They will cost about $3000 for each of us or almost $10,000 for all of us so every order really counts.

When Mama finishes her summer work abroad, we will return to the USA and visit family but then we will go to Texas to see our good friend, Mr. Ty.  He is getting married this year so we must go!  After that, I plan to give inspirational talks on achieving personal goals to Boy Scout Troops throughout the South.  I am hoping to meet some of my relatives in Arkansas this year and complete the trip we had to postpone last year.  Because of our fundraising earlier this year to travel the USA, we have already set aside $1000 for this stateside trip.  So, the fundraising we are doing right now selling flower bulbs will help us to pay for the school tuition abroad at the International School.
