Five days until the adventure...

Hey everyone! Welcome to the University of Maryland's Alternative Spring Break 2009 Gaston, North Carolina trip's blog! wooo...okay so today is Monday and we are leaving this Saturday and I know we all could not be anymore excited! I'm Kelsey, one of the trip leaders and I just want to say it has been a joy planning this trip all year. I'm a little nervous but I know all of our hard work will pay off once we are down there.

If you are a friend or family of any of the participants of this trip, thank you soooo much for all of your support and donations. We could not be doing this trip without you and it is important that you know we appreciate you! You honestly are helping us make a difference in children's lives and do our part in the fight for equal educational opportunities for all children in the United States.

So, I sincerely hope you continue to read our postings about our expiereince in the KIPP school down there. We will try our hardest to update you every day! Next time you hear from us, we will be in Gaston! So, enjoy and have a great rest of the week!

~Kelsey
