Kaydance’s Expedition to the Future!

Donation protected
Dear friends, My biology teacher is taking select students on an expedition to Fiji the summer of 2019 to help with biodiversity surveys to help the locals!!! This is run by Operation Wallacea. The date of the expedition is July 20th through August 3rd, During the expedition I will be based in the Natewa National Park (which is the wildest remaining area in Fiji). The local people are attempting to make this a World Heritage Site, so we are collecting information and working along REAL scientists to help support their dream! The first week of the expedition, we will be based in the forest collecting data for different surveys including invertebrate surveys, bird, and bat. Im the second week, I will be on the coast in the largest bay in the South Pacific at the marine training center taking an open water training course! I will be hands on learning about reef and marine habitats, threats of reefs and fish, and fish and reef identification. (and take some awesome pictures!) I will also have the opportunity to be in a homestay where i will be immersed in Fijian culture. I will join the local villagers, play sports with the local children, and learn about local cultures and customs! (woah)... The entire trip is $4200... This covers the entire travel expenses, housing, equipment, food, and everything I will need. As you may know, my mom and I just moved, and we do not have enough to cover this all... and I do not know how I can do this myself. I am trying to figure out a way, and your help is what I need. Traveling the world is one of my biggest goals in life, and it would really really mean a lot if you could help me. I feel that if I have the opportunity see what other cultures and countries do, so I will have a greater idea of how to better our American future. The coral reef and animal surveys will give me insight to how the human population is harming the environment, wildlife, and how I can help prevent further damaging. The trip is a gateway to my future. I know it seems like a lot of money, and there are other things you can spend your money on, but if everyone donated a little, it would make a big difference. This would support my academics. I do hope i can go on this trip! I thank you so so much! Have the happiest of holidays!
