Ever since we've started working on this initiative, we've been making random phone calls to random people, waking up at ungodly hours of the night (that's IF we slept in the first place) with new ideas we can use for our campaign, sending out countless emails to each other and to our contacts, adding, cancelling, touching up, modifying, amplifying certain aspects of our initiative, and enduring a minimum of 3 vaccinations (with some more added for good measure) in one afternoon. Here's our journey so far in pictures:
We'd crash every night utterly exhausted whilst still making sure we set the alarms for the next day. |
Time was not our friend and everything we did seemed like a race against time.
At times, we'd be back at square one asking ourselves, "what did we do so far?", but we had to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and keep marching on . |
Even though we liked to indulge ourselves in a little tirade, we couldn't escape the fact that, no matter how long and hard we complained, we're not solving our dilemma.
As hard as we tried to take time off from working on our capstone and focusing on other priorities in our lives, we'd still think of new ideas to add to our campaign. This turned out to be a full-time job.
This could easily describe our philosophy while working on this initiative. The one thing that's keeping us sane at this stage of the project is that all 3 of us are extremely passionate of reaching our goal to provide a social-media-based education to the students in Kajiado, Kenya.
Look out for posts dedicated to our latest supporters who are on the same wavelength as we are!
This is it, guys - we're really doing this. We're really going to Kenya. Whoa.
