$21000, excellent work from Jordan!

He is a terrific kid!!

And such supportive parents - who have allowed him to continue as his "community project" while maintaining his studies.

With his instincts, he will hopefully be recruited by some very good business divisions of the universities in another 7 years or so!

Meanwhile, he has certainly drawn attention to the campaign in a positive way!

This a rough drawing of the proposed statue, Tobi.

For Europeans and all others outside the US it has now become easier to order wristbands.

I finally ordered two wristbands. For me and a dear friend who was asking me for one earlier today. So I did it a moment ago. :tinhat1
