This is a letter from my daugher:
Hi, my name is Caitlind and I'm a high school student. I fell in love with Anime shows when I was very young. For the past 10 years, I've been watching Anime, reading Manga and drawing Anime characters - it's become such a large part of my life. I've even been studying Japanese 3 times a week during my lunch hour at school so I can understand the shows that aren't translated.
My dream has always been go to Japan to learn more about the people and their culture, because I find them so amazing. My dream is to become an artist and draw Anime and maybe even create new shows.
I applied for a student cultural exchange program to study for a year in Japan, but really didn't think I had much chance of being accepted. I just found out a few weeks ago that I WAS ACCEPTED. I can't believe it! It would be a dream come true to be able to go, but the only way I can, is if I raise enough money for the trip.
I would like to offer anyone who want to help me a beautiful sketch that I would make specially for you. You can see an example of one here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=270308699046
Even though the sketches I draw mean the world to me, I am willing to use them for my fundraising, so that I can go. With your help, I could one day be a famous artist and these sketches could be worth lots and lots of money
I can draw different characters from Anime shows like Sailor Moon, Sakura, Pokemon for you if you prefer.
Here's a quote I saw a long time ago, I don't know who said it, but I love it:
Magic has often been thought of as the art of making dreams come true; the art of realizing visions. Yet before we can bring birth to the vision we have to see it.

Fore more information on (hopefully) my trip to Japan, visit my website at http://caitlindbeaulieu.blogspot.com
It is bilingual so everyone can read it.
Thank you for your help
