Human Ecology in Guinea-Bissau

Donation protected
Support education & sustainable development by donating to our GeoAnth team (Rachel, Sami, & Kamran) from Kennesaw State University. Each of us chose a different aspect of human ecology in Guinea-Bissau to research and have been working on creating curriculums for each topic. The funds raised will go towards assisting our team with travel expenses, and for equipment to be donated to the students, faculty, and locals of Guinea-Bissau. 

Understanding Human Ecology in Guinea-Bissau
During the month of July our team will travel to Guinea-Bissau, to help build & create a human ecology/environmental studies program with students and faculty from local universities. In preparation for our study abroad trip, our team at KSU has worked on curriculum projects focused on energy & agriculture all semester. If you would like to hear more about our research feel free to send us a message or leave a comment! 

Topics
Rachel: Threats to Biodiversity: Rice Cultivation
Sami: Diversifying The Cashew Economy
Kamran: Energy Access

The Specifics
We've set the goal to help cover travel expenses like plane tickets ($2,000), housing ($900), & meals ($500) for each team member. The trip could cost as much as $4,000 each. The 3 of us have applied for the Global Learning Scholarship, and have obtained $1,000 each in funds to support our travels.

The goal is to raise $2,000 for each students travel expenses ($6,000) & the remaining funds ($4,000) will be used to purchase specialized conservation and research equipment (e.g., solar panels, batteries, notebooks, etc.), teaching materials and textbooks for our undergraduate host country counterparts, and seed and equipment for some of the local farmers. 

The best way you could help would be by donating whatever amount you feel comfortable with ($5, $10, $50, etc). Every penny will help support education and sustainable development in Guinea-Bissau. If you don't have the funds this month or next, we are also packing some bags of stuff to donate such as any usable spare electronics, school supplies, or deflated soccer balls, etc. If you have anything you'd like to donate please send an email to [email redacted] with your name, items, & location and if you're with in a certain area we may be able to come pick it up!

We would greatly appreciate your support, it would help our team of soon-to-be college graduates with enhancing our knowledge and skills, as well as encouraging collaboration in education and international engagement. Whether your support be monetary, prayer, or a share on fb, we will be so grateful.

Thank you for taking your time to read about our research!
