THIS IS NOT A PLEA FOR MONEY! Yeah, I'll say it again just so we all know THIS IS NOT A PLEA FOR MONEY!! What is it then? Well, my school are taking part in the World Challenge expedition scheme, and they're going to Ecuador. Which is expensive. The whole trip will cost 3 125 and will happen 15-20 months from now. I can get a summer job, which will earn at maximum 1 600, but there's still a lot left to get. They advise we fundraise. This is where you come in: I don't have the foggiest idea how to raise money. At all. If you have any ways in which I might pool a little cash to help me on my way, I'd love to hear them. All suggestions welcome. Thank you for your attention. ~Ozy

You could always go and <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/2002/om20021025.html' target='_blank'>mug people</a>. But to be honest, I don't have any ideas.

Mugging? Organ Black Market? Whilst I can see their promise, they're not really what I was looking for...

well there's illegal drugs but that might be a bit risky. In 7th grade this girl sold chocolate fundraiser things to go to Europe. Candy is good. The trick is this new sort of assorment of candy they sell, rather than a few basic chocolates they have the works, Snickers, Reese's, Hershey's, Twizzlers, Skittles, Starbursts, and probably some other stuff.

*Waves hand around* You WILL give me a check for a large amount of money. When all else fails, go Jedi.

lol Never heard of a Reese's, and what exactly is a Hershey? I mena, I know it's chocolate, but how is it different to, say, a Mars bar?

Reese's are "cups" of chocolate about 7 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm in height. The outside of them is chocolate, and the inside is filled with peanut butter. Hersheys are essentially flat bars of plain chocolate (though there is an almond variety) that can be broken into bite-size bricks.

This sounds like the sort of thing you might be able to get a grant or scholarship to cover, since it's for educational experience. There are non-profit organizations that specialize in funding for these sorts of things (at least in the States), and if you fill out the right applications you might be able to get the cost covered by them, especially if your school transcripts are good. Something to think about, I guess.
