website stuff

Well the website is pretty much finished and you can now donate direct to our first charity here. We'll be choosing more charities to donate to soon. By the way if any of the other teams are taking the southern route and haven't heard about this yet, you might want to contact Team Driving Miss Daisies if you would like to take some supplies to SWORDE-TEPPA, a charity in Tajikistan, on the way. You can find the link on the left.
