As you all know, the price of everything has been like a "skyrocket". We have been able to hold the cost of the 2008 mission the same for the past 3 years however, this year you will need to be prepared to pay your own exit fee. This is not terrible - the current cost is $34. I just wanted to give everybody a heads-up as soon as I could. The main reason is that our airfare has risen to more than $900 per person this year. In the past we have been able to get tickets for around $750 to $800 per ticket.
The cost increases may cut the number of houses we build by 2 or 3 (we will still build more than 13 or 14). I can promise you that we will all be as busy as ever.
Thanks for all that everybody is doing to get ready for TORCH 2008. Don't be afraid to encourage friends, family, and people that you don't even know to participate in your mission. Tell them about your work and see if they would like to build a house or send some food to a hungry family.
Be a blessing to somebody today!
