Braille Equipment

i am trying to raise money to go abroad and help disadvantaged visually impared kids in africa.
ive done a lot of fundraising for the blind with my dad, who actually raised almost 50,000 last week with a biker rally, but i think that the charity here is nowhere near as stuck as what its counterpart would be in africa. so i hope to raise money not just to teach and help these kids but to buy some of the equipment that the blind schools here have such as braille machines, walking canes ect.
I would consider doing anything so please give me any idea no matter how mad they sound!

-lemonade stands
-school car wash
-fundraiser

That is all I could think of, but they are all helpful. ☺

safety of the children. They have also been supplied with much needed Braille equipment, talking clocks and footballs with bells inside them to ...

A beautiful lady walked into a fabric store. She asked the shopkeeper how much one yard of clothing is.

"One kiss per yard," he answered.

"Good. I'll take 10 yards," the lady said.

The shopkeeper was so excited. He immediately snipped out the 10 yards of clothing and handed it to the lady.

"Thanks," she replied, "Grandpa will pay the bill."

A deep-sea diver is twenty feet below sea level when he sees another guy with no scuba gear. He goes down another thirty feet, and the guy with no equipment stays with him. He takes out a waterproof chalkboard and writes, "How the hell can you stay down this deep without equipment?" The guy takes the chalkboard and writes, "You *****, I'm drowning!!"

A kindergarten teacher one day is trying to explain to her class the definition of the word "definitely" to them. To make sure the students have a good understanding of the word, she asks them to use it in a sentence. The first student raised his hand and said "The sky is definitely blue". The teacher said, "Well, that isn't entirely correct, because sometimes it's gray and cloudy".

Another student says, "Grass is definitely green." The teacher again replies "If grass doesn't get enough water it turns brown, so that isn't really correct either."

Another student raises his hand and asks the teacher "Do farts have lumps?" The teacher looked at him and said "No...But that isn't really a question you want to ask in class discussion." So the student replies, "Then I definitely shit my pants."

A woman posts an ad in the news paper that looks like this...

'Looking for man with these qualifications; won't beat me up; or run away from me and is great in bed.'

She got lots of phone calls replying to her ad but met someone perfect at her door one day. The man she met said, "Hi, I'm Bob. I have no arms so I won't beat you up and no legs so I won't run away."

So the lady says, "What makes you think you are great in bed?"

Bob replies, "I rang the door bell didn't I?"

omg ROFL they are all hilarious! i love these jokes ahhahahah.
