Hello friends! A few weeks ago, I saw a flyer up at my school talking about a Service Learning Trip to Nicaragua in July of 2016. I thought it sounded cool, so I talked to my teacher about it, and I was instantly hooked. A week later, my permission slip is turned in and preparations have begun for the trip ahead of me.
Basically, I am going, with other students at my school, to San Ramon, Nicaragua, for an eight day trip this summer. On this trip, me and other students will be traveling to different local schools, teaching kids new things through and about the arts, as well as other volunteering activities. As most of you know, I attend an arts school (Grand Center Arts Academy) and so this trip is right up my alley. We will also be hanging out with some of the local kids, which will be a good chance to teach each other new things from different cultures. During our time at Nicaragua, we will also be hitting some of the popular tourist attractions, such as the beach, hiking through the rainforest, and seeing huge waterfalls.
This trip will allow me to experience something that most kids my age don’t get the chance to do. Reading and looking at pictures of a culture is way different from seeing it with your own eyes, and I would like to say this as a fact. Going on this trip can also help my competition on college applications. This trip is such a great opportunity for me, but like most opportunities, it comes with a price.
The trip, in total, is $2,500. By December 1st, I need to have $500. This includes airfare, lodging, meals, and transportation. This is where you guys come in. If you have the time and the money, please help my cause and donate to my trip. If you are able to donate, please do so ASAP, seeing that $500 is due on December 1st, especially if you are sending a check through mail.
Payments can be made in three ways:
1) Credit card/debit card on this gofundme account.
2) Checks/cash can be sent directly to me or my Mom:
Paisley Regester or April Regester
3241 Missouri Avenue
St. Louis, MO

3) Tax deductible payments by check can be made to Planting Hope, (an organization we will be working with in Nicaragua) and mailed to my home address:
Check made out to: Planting Hope

Thank you so much for your interest and support. I will be sure to send pictures of my trip to all who would like to see my experience. For more information, email me at: [email redacted]
Sincerely,
Paisley
