My personal goal for the remaining weeks is to collect photos of ridiculous signs. I have a few so far;
- It was obviously a Friday, and the marketing team just wanted to go home.
- Didn’t think this through. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages/dispages/Fact_Sheets/Ebola_Fact_Booklet.pdf
- “WHEN IS IT EVER COLD OUTSIDE?” (Tim is especially angry because the girls forced him to eat dinner outside…without air conditioning)
We spent the last few days of last week at Ateneo University to gather signatures for a petition to pass the Anti-Child Pornography Bill. We also sold ribbons to raise funds for a newspaper ad that will be published sometime this week. The ad will be addressed to the President, urging the Legislators to pass the Bill… and at the same time raising awareness about the issues surrounding child pornography.
I think that the campaign at Ateneo was quite successful. We gathered aprox. 2,000 signatures (so far), and raised quite a bit of money. I attribute this success to Dan’s ‘aggressive’ advocacy techniques. He actually followed people who refused to sign for a good 10 meters, and full-out fought with one person. Of the hundreds of people he approached, only 3 turned him down.
This weekend, Dan and I will be celebrating our birthdays. We will have a birthday party with the girls at the shelter and the staff of ECPAT…. A Disney-themed party… because there is just no better way to celebrate getting old than with denial.
