I have been presented with an amazing opportunity to volunteer through a non-profit organization, Marafiki Africa, that arranges trips to travel to East Africa and provide aid to communities.

This August I will be traveling almost 8,000 miles for a two week long volunteer trip in Africa. Our base camp is near Tanzania.  

While there, I will help by teaching, holding workshops, and building relationships. I will help participate in development projects to improve access to clean water, healthcare, and education. 

I am trying to raise $4,500 in order to finance this trip. Most of the funds will be used to pay for my meals , security and travel while in country. The remainder will be used to pay for my round trip flight. 

This will be an incredible experience and I am excited for the opportunity to serve. If you are willing and able to contribute, I would be forever grateful.  Thank you!
