Hello Family and Friends. To those who do not know me, my name is Ethan Angco and I am 18 years old. I have decided to do something meaningful with my time before I transition to post secondary schooling this coming fall. I will be embarking on a six week volunteer mission to Ghana and Togo, West Africa, in May. I will be joining a small team with an organization called "Operation Groundswell ". The main focus of our mission is to push forward innovative teaching practices in these countries despite the constraints that these children and locals face daily. We will be partnering with local NGO's to work towards making a positive impact in the education systems in urban and rural areas and providing support towards initiatives such as environmental sustainability and other pressing needs of these communities. Friends, I am coming to you to ask for your financial support in helping us to achieve these important goals. The money that I raise with your assistance will allow me to join this team of volunteers to do good works as well as provide additional donations to the communities we service. Thank you and God bless you for your support. It is so very much appreciated.
