Asa's School Trip to South Africa
Donation protected
Hello! Thank you for clicking through to my GoFundMe page. My name is Asa, and I am currently a Junior at Friends Seminary in New York City. Each year, my school organizes trips abroad to various countries around the world. Students who have gone on these trips return to share the most amazing stories with the school community, sparking new ways of thinking and viewing the world.
Next Spring break, Friends is planning a trip to South Africa, where students will have the opportunity to get involved in social justice, development, and peacemaking in the context of a country still recovering from an apartheid regime.
Being a student of an independent private school comes with financial commitments my parents need to meet for me to attend the school. Combined with my extracurricular activities, they would not be able to afford sending me to South Africa with their current commitments for me. I ask for your help in funding my trip to South Africa! It would be a dream for me!
A little about me: I’m an avid gamer, where I aspire to be a video game designer, conceptualizing characters and building their narratives. In preparation for the college applications to Art School, I currently attend the Ashcan Studio of Art on weekends to work on pieces for my portfolio. I run track as a sprinter for my school, play saxophone in the school Jazz Ensemble, and speak enough Chinese to not go hungry if I was left in China on my own.
This trip to South Africa would expose me to the power of philanthropy, in a setting that will impact and motivate me in other areas of life. My goal is to have the trip paid in full by end of this year. Please help me get to South Africa! Thank you in advance!
