My Volunteer Trip To Trelawny!
Donation protected
Hey everyone! I am a brand new volunteer with a great LA based charity that does work in underserved communities. The charity's name is AS ONE and this October they are returning to Ulster Springs Elementary School in Trelawny, Jamaica for their We Are One Jamaica program!
Guess what???!! I'm fundraising to get there! In Jamaica we will focus on in class tutoring and teacher support. As a volunteer I'll be teaching one of the after school workshops with the children in areas of creative and performance arts, computer technology, as well as, physical wellness.
Because AS ONE's charity work is also about community, a number of the workshops are also being offered to the adults of Trelawny. I am looking forward to helping the adults and children learn about computers, health and wellness, and art. I most likely will not be focusing on computer technology....Yall know I couldn't even figure out InstaGram stories :)
AS ONE also has an Agriculture & Nutrition program and they are partnering with local farmers and businesses to plant a small farm and garden with the children, along with an ecofriendly green house. We will be teaching community sustainability!
I am asking for donations to raise money for my trip, which will pay for my roundtrip flight, room and board, pick up and drop of from the airport and daily meals.
I've never done a missions trip, and when I came across this opportunity it spoke to me. I literally felt like wow, this must be what it feels like to be urged to serve. So here I am, asking for donations to help me get there.
I need to raise the money by September 30th, 2016 if not before so I can secure my airline tickets and my volunteer spot on the trip. I truly believe without an education no one can thrive and become their best selves.
I know when you think of Jamaica you think of this beautiful Tourist spot full of beaches and resorts, which it is, but inland there are schools and communities that don't have basic things we take for granted. I believe If I can do something as small as go to this school and teach an art class, then that's something I want and will do.

I am so thankful for every donation given!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and read this description!
With Love,
Adenike
P.S. Even if I am not able to raise the full amount for my trip, whatever donations are given I will give to AS ONE for school supplies and any other needs for the students.
