Palauan Students to Malta, Europe
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family, Our daughters, Miel Sequeira-Holm & Dilluna Rivera, LOVE the ocean and are actively working to protect it. They are both part of the "Heirs To Our Ocean" family and as "Heirs" they were invited to apply to attend the upcoming Sustainable Ocean Alliance Youth Leadership Summit in Malta, (near Italy) from October 4-6, 2017. Out of many applicants, they were selected and if they can make it there, they will likey be the youngest participants at the Summit. They received a gracious financial award from Via Senti to cover their accomodations and almost half of their airline tickets. We are in need of a little more financial assistance in order to make this happen for them. We, the parents of Miel and Dilluna humbly ask for any donations to help support their participation in this amazing opportunity. We are extremely grateful to you our friends and family for any amount that you can donate to help us get them there.
