Help me go to Malta to study at EGS

Donation protected
Dear Amistades,
I have been chosen to study Philosophy, Art and Social Thought at the European Graduate School, next Spring of 2016, att their new campus in  Valleta, Malta. 

For the past 15 years, I have been living with HIV.  It has been a long path to recovery, but I am finally getting to the finish lane.  Today I feel healthier than ever, thanks to the wonderful doctor and community of loved ones  who every day help me stay sober and become healthier in every aspect of my life.

YOU ARE ONE OF MY LOVED ONES.

My long term dream is to finish my PhD.

Finishing my PhD is very important to me for the following reasons:
1.  I want to contribute to society by teaching all the knowledge I have acquired, specially to under-deserved communities.
2.  It will make my life much easier, as I will be able to teach part time, and have an extra income to complete my expenses.   (I am currently on disability).
3.  Having a PhD opens many doors to success in the world.  I am not interested in becoming a traditional academic, writing boring papers or belonging to Emperial universities.  Instead, I want to use my degree to teach un-deserved students,  for free, to open and run virtual schools and apply for government grants to help those in need, and having a PhD makes it easier to achieve that. 
4. Staying alive and healthy is all about completing goals, and finishing my PhD is one of my long-term desires and wishes.   I could spend the rest of my life complaining about never finishing my degree, or I can stand up and take action. 

The classes are from March 19th to April 14th.

This is an excellent opportunity, but as you can imagine, it is a large expense.

The money will be used to purchase the following items:
1.  Rent for a month:  $554.00
2.  Round Trip from Pittsburgh to Malta: $1400.00
3. Meals while I am there:  $600.00

This Spring I will be studying with Judith Butler, Christopher Fynsk, Michael Nyman, Avital Ronell, Hubertus von Amelunxen, and Siegfried Zielinski.

I am grateful to all of you for helping me stay alive and well.  You are all part of my health and recovery, and I want to finish what I started, which is to complete my degree at the European Graduate School.

Those of you who know me well, this is not an opportunity that I will pass.   I promise I will share my knowledge with you for free, as I have always done.

YOU CAN DONATE AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WANT.  I call them KISSES OF FUND.

BUT, AS PART OF THE DONATIONS CAMPAIGN, I WILL BE OFFERING TAROT READINGS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS.  THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY, BECAUSE WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER REACH TO THE STARS.  This is my way to say "thanks" to you.

Also, if you are going to give me a gift for Christmas, please, do so contributing to my trip to Malta.
