We tried to contact some (relief) organizations. But it was discouraging. Sometimes, if you want to do something, you've just got to get up and do it.
Some friends thought what we were doing was great. Others thought we were totally insane ? that it should be illegal. Friends were concerned about our safety.
We really wanted to show them this other side of life.
Instead of sitting around and moping about it, we decided to do something about it.
