If you have time on your hands, have the desire to learn some new skills, can type or like history, we would love to see you. The work can be as much or as little as you can handle - at the Knowledge Bank or from home - my wife and I do both but we have the time to do it as well as the interest.

I was wondering if anyone out there have any jobs he could do to raise what is needed for airfares, food and gifts to take over... or would like to donate towards this first time experience for us both. There are 3 other young men going as well...
