My name is Camilo Arana. I am currently going to California State University Long Beach. I am working towards a bachelors degree in Child Development. I have signed up for a study abroad program for this summer. I will be traveling around Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Slovenia to learn about different kinds of education. This program will fulfill my internship and one class I need for my degree. It is an amazing opportunity that I feel I must take advantage of. However, it turns out it will cost more than I thought. I have already paid for my ticket and the first deposit. Unfortunately, that is less than half of what it will take to do this program. I am working and trying to save up the rest of the money I will need. My family is also helping out as much as they can. But it turns out I do not think I will have enough money. I need to give my school another $2,500 and still pay for my meals, train tickets, and other expenses when I am there. Anything would be greatly appreciated and will help immensely. I know this trip will change my life for the better and will help me become a better person and teacher. Thank you for anything, even good wishes and prayers. 

Much love,
Camilo Arana
