Some people tell us we're crazy
trying to organize a project like this. "It's too big",
"It's a logistical nightmare", "yada yada yada".
But it's our dream that makes it all happen. All volunteers
work without compensation to make the Odyssey a reality so
you know your donations are going
to actual projects and not to the staff
