my sincere apologies....com or .org?

To all of those that have receive the fundraising letter and tried to access this blog from the .org site rather than the .com, I apologize for the typo! The letter says both .com and .org but please note the blog is located at www.paintforperu.blogspot.com! also, the correct site for the fundraising page is http://donations.globalvolunteers.org. So very sorry for the confusion!
