Daysha Eaton's Reporting Trip to Vietnam: The Legacy of War

Hello All,

In case I missed saying thanks to anyone … I just wanted to convey my sincere gratitude to each one of you for helping me reach my goal of $500 on The Point. And to those who could not pledge, your encouragement on this endeavor is also appreciated.

The funds will hold my spot on a reporting trip to Vietnam with SalaamGarage. I still have some more fundraising to do before I head out in January — but you gave me a great start!

I will keep you posted on my fundraising progress and, eventually about what I learn in Vietnam, through my new blog/website. Expect an email announcing the site in the next week or so.

Sincerely,

Daysha

Hello again everyone,

I have just two days left to raise the remaining $142 of my $500 deposit to hold my place on the Vietnam reporting trip with Salaam Garage. If I do not raise this last $142 I will not get any of the money that was pledged.

A huge thank you to everyone who has pulled out their plastic and pledged toward my trip so far. If you have been thinking about it and have not pledged yet, now is the time. All pledges must be in before the clock strikes midnight on Monday. Any amount exceeding my $500 goal will go to the Salaam Garage Scholarship Fund.

I am developing a website in order to keep all of you updated on my reporting trip. You can find a sneak peak at: http://superstringers.wordpress.com/

‘Daysha Eaton’s Reporting Trip to Vietnam: The Legacy of War’ has reached the tipping point!

We raised a total of $500!

Hi everyone,

If you’ve been meaning to pledge toward my reporting trip to Vietnam and you have not yet done so — this is your last chance. I need to gather the last $142 by midnight tonight (Monday, August 31) in order to reach my goal.

Thanks to the generous donations of my community, I am nearly 3/4 of the way to my goal of collecting $500 by September 1. The money will hold my spot on a reporting trip to vietnam with SalaamGarage: http://salaamgarage.com/the-trips/vietnam10/

In return for your pledge, I will be keeping you posted about what I learn during my trip through a blog. Here is a link previewing my new blog/website, which will officially launch in about a week: http://superstringers.wordpress.com/

Thanks in advance,

Daysha

Thanks to all of you who helped me reach my goal of $500 on The Point. These funds will hold my place on the SalaamGarage reporting trip to Vietnam!

Because some people had trouble pledging, The Point has extended my deadline one more day, until midnight Tuesday (September 1st). Although I have reached my goal of $500, you can still pledge if you feel compelled to do so. All funds exceeding my $500 goal will go to the Salaam Garage Scholarship fund, to help other freelance and citizen journalists with their reporting expenses.

Read more about SalaamGarage here: http://salaamgarage.com/faqs/ And if a reporting trip with SalaamGarage sounds interesting to you, there are still 5 open spots on the Vietnam trip.

Expect to receive an introduction to my new blog/website in about a week. And thanks again for all of your pledges and for your words of encouragement!

Hello everyone,

I know that some of you have had some trouble pledging. If you did, please let me know and I will work with The Point to make sure that you can pledge. As I recently found out though, The Point does not at this time take foreign credit cards! So for now, you must pledge with an American card. Thanks again to everyone who has pledged and I will keep you posted as I move closer to my goal.
