Melissa and Hamsa will be tackling the jungles of the Amazon, arid deserts, and the terrifying roads up the Andes.&nbsp; All the while using relatively cool heads and sarcastic wit to refrain from killing each other for a few weeks of travel.&nbsp;</font></p><p><font face="andale mono,times" size="3">To prevent this organization from spiraling completely out of control, we need to raise at least 1,000 British pounds, around 1,600 of our paper dollars.&nbsp; We are raising money for Practical Action, and we could put a long plug for them in here but you'd probably be better served looking at their website since they put the liberal arts education to good use and have many nicely worded descriptions of the work they do for pure water, veterinary medicine, and animal husbandry there. </font></p><p><font face="andale mono,times" size="3">To the left you should see a &quot;charity meter&quot; for donating to Practical Action via the website Justgiving.com.&nbsp; Please click on the button, follow the link and donate to the level that you are able.&nbsp; Every little donation helps, and it really is going to a worthwhile purpose. Thank you in advance for all that you are able to do. </font></p>
