Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping me achieve a dream I’ve worked so hard for! I’m So'Nia Brown, a student at the University of Alabama majoring in Marketing with a minor in International Business. I’ve been accepted into the CIEE Summer in Cape Town program, a six-week study abroad opportunity from May 19th to June 28th, and I couldn’t be more excited!

CIEE is a nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to cultural exchange since 1947, helping students like me experience new cultures and gain a global perspective. This program will allow me to immerse myself in a different environment, expand my knowledge, and grow both personally and professionally.

I’ve already been awarded the Tidwell Lovett Scholarship and am actively applying for additional funding through my university. However, I still need the support of my community to make this trip a reality. Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward covering program costs, travel expenses, and essentials for my journey.

If you’re able to contribute, please donate here. If you can’t donate, sharing this post would mean the world to me!

Thank you all for your love and support. I truly appreciate it! ❤️
