(3) Invite me to your church, meeting, organization, school, company, family or group for a presentation. I am in the USA fundraising for this project from June 14, 2009.

(4) You can organize a fundraiser and bring your friends, family, and neighbours together to share this project with them. We will provide you with the presentation material you need. A BBQ for example is a great option.
