Jordan was asked to be the guest speaker at a dinner for Random Acts of Kindness, a women's philathropic group, on August 18th. She presented information about the Camphor Mission Station and the need for water. The women of the group made donations for greeting cards and were able to raise $138.00 towards funding a well.

On October 20th, Jordan was the guest speaker for the Painesville-Mentor Christian Women's Connection luncheon. Over 65 women were present as Jordan gave a power-point presentation about the need for clean water in Liberia. The women brought 236 toothbrushes and 74 tubes of toothpaste to help with the cause. Jordan had her greeting cards as well as her new Christmas cards available for donations too. She was able to raise $240 at the event!

On July 28th, Jordan was featured in a front page article in The News Herald, which serves Lake and Geauga Counties in northeast Ohio. The photo, Jordan surrounded by toothbrushes and toothpaste that she collected, caught the attention of many readers. Donations of money, toothbrushes, and orders from cards have been coming in from many readers.

On July 16th, Jordan was a guest speaker, along with missionary Kathy Dickriede, at a luncheon for P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization). She was thrilled to be invited to speak and loved telling the group of women about her fundraising efforts. Many of the members of P.E.O. gave Jordan donations for greeting cards, raising almost $200 toward the well.

Jordan loves to listen to 95.5 The Fish radio station in northeast Ohio. The family regularly calls in to play on air games during their drive to school in the morning. When Jordan called in on Friday, March 27th, the DJ, Len Howser, asked her what was going on that day. She replied that she and her mom were hosting a fundraiser for the well in Liberia by selling purses and greeting cards. Jordan told him (and everyone listening) about her website and her goal. She was delighted when she came home from school that day and saw people had heard her and went to her website to order cards! As a side note, she won the contest that morning, winning tickets to an indoor amusement park and an indoor putt-putt facility. However, we think the biggest winners are the people in Liberia who will soon be receiving a new well for fresh water!
