Pilgrimage to Israel
Donation protected
The reason I am raising this money is because I was recently accepted to be apart of the 2018 Pilgrimage to Israel with a few other Catholic schools around the area. I would be in Israel from March 8-19 2018 touring different parts of cities each day...
This trip would be a trip of a lifetime for the fact that I will be touring around Israel learning the things that I could never learn from sitting in a desk all day. It would be so amazing to learn the history and facts behind each city being seen on this trip such as; Bethlehem, Tiberias, and Jerusalem. In those cities I would be learning about the different churches and popular landmarks first hand. I would also be seeing the spot Jesus was born and taking the same journey he would have taken when he walked the earth, which wouldnt that be cool?!?!? I would be able to see and take in everything Jesus went through... For example on day 3 when I am visiting Nazareth, Tiberias I will be seeing the traditional site of the cliff that an angry mob attempted to throw Jesus off of after his bold proclamation in the Nazareth synagogue and that is just day 3... Each day will be a different adventure all apart of the history belonging to Israel and Jesus himself! (I have attached my itinerary as well to see more about where i will be going and what I will be doing!) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_M7AvpUfrCY1JTNlNXWTVRTWc/view
To me going on this trip would mean so much because I am lover of learning about the history behind different parts of the world and I am all about traveling as I love capturing the world through the lens of my camera (as I am a photographer, so imagine the pictures I would be able to share with you all after!) so for me to have the opportunity to be chosen to take part in this experience fills me with joy. I would love to make this happen and would be very appreciative if you would help me on this journey.
