My daughter has an opportunity to travel to Japan with her Senior class Dublin Scioto Highschool to stay with a Japanese family and visit their schools and learn about their culture. A start of her future of foreign studies. Application and down payment are due by Dec 1st 2018. I unfortunately cannot afford to send her on this trip, an opportunity of a lifetime, on my own. I have been working 2 jobs and going to school trying to make a better life for my family and recently had to quit one job and I am on medical leave from school and my main job  so this will be a challenge without help every little bit helps and is very appreciated!!! My health took a turn at the worse possible time I have been diagnosed with PBC and small fiber neuropathy/autonomic dysfunction. If you can't donate please share for us. You may go to laurasian.org/npj to view all available info about this trip Message from Markyla: I have always wanted to go to japan even when I was younger. Now that I'm learning more about the culture and I'm learning how to read and write in japanese, I would love to visit and study more while getting to see the beauty of this country up close. Me studying in japan during this trip would teach me a lot of new things and give me lot's of new opportunities especially for my future, I want to take my study of japan and japanese culture to a new level!
