I am a passionate and hard working psychology student with a minor in spanish. This summer, I hope to expand my horizons by studying abroad in Ecuador.  I am respectfully requesting assistance with funds that will include institutional credits, room & board, hotel fees, meals, travel insurance, and medical costs. As a junior psychology major (planning to attain an Ph.D in clinical psychology),  I have realized that I desire to successfully reach and counsel the  African- American, Hispanic, and Afro-Hispanic communities. This trip will allow me to fulfill my passion by immersing  myself in the culture and enhancing my language skills. The payment for this trip must be made by April 15, 2016. Thank you in advance for your contribution. It is a wise investment! Blessings to you and your community.
