FIRST TRIP
People are on the ground in Phuket already! If you are there, you should take photos and send them to me maya@phuketproject.org! And report to everyone about how its going-- every day-- on the yahoogroups list. Ypu can post photos there too if you like. Everyone else, stay tuned...

SECOND TRIP
This trip is full! If you are on this trip and havent sent a hard copy photocopy of your passport and your itinerary, you must do so now. If you would like to stop by the fundraiser tonight, Maya will be there and you can give it to her. We are booking the flights from Bangkok to Phuket this week and reserving rooms for you, so dont be left out! Maya Gorton and Sam Bottum (sam@phuketproject.org) are the contacts for this trip. You can email us or call Maya at (347)432-3715 if you have any questions (write that number down!)
We have confirmed accommodations for the second trip at the LeTong Hotel. After I receive every last itinerary, I will confirm your room number and who you are rooming with. Oh yes, everyone is sharing a room-- but if you dont like your roommate you can spend all your spare time in the hotel swimming pool (aw, poor you!).

THIRD TRIP & BEYOND
We want to evaluate interest in a third trip to Thailand. The dates would be for arrival in Phuket on April 18th and for a departure on April 30th. If you think you might be interested in participating with this third team of volunteers, please make sure your volunteer information sheet has been filled out and send Mach an email to confirm your interest in this third project team. If you are interested in a later date, that would be a good thing to mention in your email as well.

Thanks everybody,

The Team at PhuketProject.org
