My amazing daughter, Sophie, decided at age 12 that she wanted to to live overseas for twelve months. Now aged 15, Sophie has been accepted into the Rotary exchange program to go to Denmark in January next year. For the past two years Sophie has babysat and worked her heart out at McDonald's - a big feat for a kid who was vegetarian for a large part of that time! She has saved every cent she's earned and has contributed more than $2,000 towards her trip. Now we have to raise the rest. Her two younger sisters have held a garage sale (ok, slightly motivated by having their own bedrooms next year...) and her grandmas have both had fundraising high teas, and a combined garage sale.

We are on the last stretch to get her on that plane! If you are in a position to help, we would greatly appreciate any contribution you could make.
