Durfee Freedom Writers- Europe or Bust!

Donation protected
Over the last six years, the Durfee Freedom Writers Club has touched the lives of over 300 students. Our club reaches out to all students at B.M.C. Durfee High School and our mission is simple: to promote acceptance at Durfee and embrace others for their differences. We encourage activism, in that, the members of our club try to make a difference in Fall River, and in our world through community service. We study "man's inhumanity to man" perpetuated throughout the world in the past and which still continues today. We educate and expose students to critical issues that face our world in the 21st century. Through community service and volunteering, we inspire students to realize their roles as vital members of their communities and their world. But most importantly, we support and create opportunities for students to reach their full academic potential and aspire to higher education.

As a group, we believe that in order to fully understand the implications of humanity's intolerant past, we need to observe it for ourselves. Therefore, in April, 2015, we plan to travel to Europe "“ specifically the Netherlands, England, France and Belgium to visit memorials and monuments that honor victims of the Holocaust. We will visit Anne Franks' attic, Vught Concentration Camp and various other locations. This will be a ten day field trip that will broaden our students' horizons and help them understand and appreciate different cultures that we have studied in the club.

Unfortunately, many of our students are unable to afford the trip. This obstacle does not discourage these students from participating, rather, it motivates them to realize their goal of making this journey. We are reaching out to you for much needed assistance in raising the funds for our club's trip to Europe! We respectfully ask for your support for this event. Any donation made will be greatly appreciated.
