Thank you Jinja for those wonderfully kind words!!! Is there a blog campaign in your future?  

Definitely thinkin' on it - there are plenty of needs in Camboland, that's for sure. Am going to scope out your posts and 'widgets' over the next few days!

I notice that both you and Phnomenon were working with a coordinated team, which seems to be a sensible strategy.  

We had a team -- our board and key volunteers who contacted their contacts. You can do solo - I did that for my first campaign, but it won't raise quite as much money unless you know a lot of people with alot of money.
