30 on $30 Days 27 & 28

As I'm reaching closer to the finish line, I wonder if what I've done was enough to raise awareness, money, and sponsors. Some things I might change is being more organized in vlogging, rather than blogging and possibly making flyers for myself to hand out as I was talking to strangers, co-workers and clients about my journey. I had a lot more people interested in what I was doing than I had realized, so I wasn't prepared to give information easily. I wanted to be really successful in my meal plans and prepping that the main part of what I was trying to do did gain enough of my attention.

As I'm looking at what I have left to eat, I believe I will be having left overs! That means I've been living on even less than $30 a day for the 30 days. After the 30 days, I will assess and let you know how much I did not eat and how much more I saved.

As for now, let's meet a child...my favorite part. Meet Jyothiswar. He's 10 years old and lives in India. Since coming to the program, we've learned that he enjoys reading and painting. He's now in 5th grade and says his favorite subjects are Science and Social studies.Your sponsorship of Jyothiswar will underwrite his expenses, providing for his continued education, rehabilitation, access to nutritious meals and clean water, medical and dental care, and the opportunity to grow in a loving family environment.

DAY 27

Breakfast: We're still traveling and I am able to prepare my meals in a real kitchen. Potato, bean and egg tacos are so filling and tasty. Costs .30 cents

 Snack: We did a lot of walking, went on lots of rides together so this was a great energy pick me up snack. Beans and Corn chips. No where to warm up the beans, so I ate it cold. Not preferred, but no biggy...because I got to eat! Costs .15 cents

 Dinner: You're going to be seeing this noodle stir fry dish a lot more these last few days. It's my favorite, and I have much left to have a whole brick of ramen each day. Yum! Costs .45 cents

Y'all know when you travel, you definitely eat out for convenience and have lots of snacks together. My total for breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee, and dinner today would have been $27.55 bringing up the donation total to be $542.30!

DAY 28

Brunch: We are coming home today so I went ahead and ate the rest of my food that I brought so I didn't have to worry about it going bad. Costs .30 cents

 Dinner: We're home! I was able to put tons of cabbage (too bad the picture does not show the cabbage well) in this noodle stir fry and actually cook my eggs into it. Costs .45 cents

We did not have any meals at home today due to the travel. My daily total that includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner and coffee is $22.75 bringing up my new donation total to be $565.05!
