Sustain Tegan

Below are three ways you can support my Study Abroad Semester!

Truffles!!!
Whether you are having a party, watching a romantic sunset, or need the perfect gift for that special someone, my world-class truffles will add a luxurious taste to your day. I hand make these delicious treats and can deliver them to you within a 30-mile radius of Blacksburg, VA (excluding Thanksgiving break and until Dec. 17th) or Morgantown, WV (during Thanksgiving break and from Dec 18th to Jan 30th). Currently my box sizes are a 1/2 dozen, 1 dozen, and 2 dozen, but you can order as many boxes as you want! See all of my tempting varieties below. E-mail me with your request, and I will work with you to get these little orbs of amazing flavor to your door.

Triple Chocolate Truffles – A rich center coated in milk chocolate. (shown in picture)
Raspberry Chocolate Truffles – A tart creamy center coated in sweet raw sugar.
Champagne Truffles – A bitter cocoa powder coating surrounding a sweet creamy center.
Aztec Truffles – A creamy chocolate center rolled in a spicy combination of cocoa powder and cayenne pepper.

Prices: $9.00 for 1/2 dozen
            $18.00 for a dozen
            $35.00 for 2 dozen

Only boxes of 2 dozen can combine different flavors.
I’m currently doing research to figure out a sustainable way to ship truffles in the mail without using Styrofoam. All of my far-away friends: stay tuned!

Coffee!!!
My mother and I are working with Hypnocoffee (http://www.hypnocoffeemainpage.blogspot.com/) to provide you with Fair Trade Costa Rican coffee beans. Tony orders green coffee beans directly from Costa Rican farmers and roasts them here in West Virginia to bring you fresh, delicious coffee beans without the taste of exploitation. We can deliver one-pound bags of Sustain Tegan Blend to you within a 30-mile radius of Blacksburg, VA (Dec 1st to Dec 17th) or Morgantown, WV (beginning Nov 10th). We can also ship coffee to you! (stay tuned for shipping costs). E-mail me with your order!
Sustain Tegan Coffee Blend……. One pound for $12.

Excellent Child Care!!!
I will be back in the Fairmont/Morgantown, WV area from Dec 18th to Jan 30th. I would love to work for you anywhere within a 45-mile radius! I have famous SuperNanny-ish child care skills, experience with newborns, and great references. I am CPR and First-Aid certified. Reserve your days and times now!

Hope is Just a Foundation

Hola! I am a student at Virginia Tech. I am majoring in Environmental Economics Management and Policy and minoring in Green Engineering. I am interested in a career in making environmentally friendly products more economically feasible. As part of my studies, this spring semester I will be in Costa Rica for a sustainable development program. It will be an important component of my education. Costa Rica is a developing country made up of almost 50 percent rainforest.  The need for a stronger economy, higher employment, and higher wages needs to be balanced with attention to preserving the rainforest and natural environment. My semester in Costa Rica will give me hands-on experience in creating sustainable low-impact solutions to environmental problems around the globe. This program is fundamental to my education but, is limited by financial resources. Hope is just a foundation for our dreams of a sustainable future. The structure of sustainability only comes with the correct action. My hope is unlimited but, my action is limited by my resources.

If you have ever been to college, you are well aware of how expensive it is. Studying abroad is even more expensive than regular tuition. My family and I have been pulling together funds for my trip but we are not quite there yet. With the deadline quickly approaching in January, I decided to set up this site to help me raise the rest of the money I need.

In the following days, I will be posting information on various ways you can help fund my trip. Sustainable tips and thoughts from a young environmentally-conscious woman (me) will be posted as well. Follow my blog to receive updates on new posts!
