My Name is Zane Warsen, 14 years old, from Oakland CA.   I volunteer and have worked hard at the Oakland Zoo as a Teen Wild Guide and I recently successfully applied for an opportunity to travel with fellow volunteers and Zoo organizers to Kruger National Park in South Africa to study and photograph the animals there.   I am incredibly honored and exited to go - I just got my first passport! 
This past year, I have had many great experiences volunteering at the Oakland Zoo; so many that I now know what I want to do with the rest of my life - Study and work with animals in their natural environments so that I can learn how to best conserve them.  And this trip is a step in that direction.  
Any help for this 12 day $4000 plus dollar adventure would be greatly appreciated. 
(Airfare, transport, Park fees, guides, vaccinations, food)  The down payment is due on April 16.    Thank you so very much!
