Gabrielle to Study Abroad in Japan

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Gabrielle Oliver, and I'm a Sophomore English Major, Japanese Minor from the Washington D.C. area. I am raising money to go on a study abroad trip with my university, Howard University, to Japan! I am very interested in Japanese language and culture, and would love if you could support me in any way. Thanks in advance!

The program is from June 6-18 (13 days), and I will primarily be staying at Keiwa College (located in Japan's Niigata prefecture). The cost for the program is due May 13, 2016, so I would greatly appreciate if you would donate any amount you can by this date. But, I appreciate anything given before the day I leave, June 3rd, as well!

Here's the breakdown of what the trip will consist of:


"Keiwa College hosts foreign students every summer for an intensive two-week program that we call the Japanese Culture and Language Program (JCLP). Besides Japanese language lessons, participants have numerous opportunities to interact with Japanese students and local people through a wide range of cross-cultural activities. Participants will enjoy a well-rounded cultural experience in a remote part of Japan that most tourists never get to see. If you compare the JCLP to other programs of this type, you will recognize that the JCLP offers a special experience."

This trip means so much to me because not only will taking Japanese courses abroad fulfill my minor course requirements (as a Japanese minor), but it will provide me with a unique learning experience about the world and will teach me how to live and operate in a different country. I believe that this kind of opportunity is important for everyone to experience, so please support me!

I appreciate everything and anything you can give; so, even it's only a dollar; be prepared to hear a number of interesting, funny, and self-learning stories I plan to tell upon returning-- along with my many thanks for your support.

Thank you so much in advance,
Gabrielle Oliver
