Family and Friends --
I need your help to make my Summer 2018 plans a reality!!
As some of you know, I am all about service and leadership. As a rising high school senior, I've received the President Barack Obama Service Award, and last month, I graduated from the 5-month Youth Leadership Greater Washington training program.
TODAY, I am raising money to achieve my goal of SERVING and LEADING in South Africa this summer, from June 30th until August 3rd, where I have been accepted to participate in two incredible programs focused on community service and leadership development.
1. SERVICE: I'm volunteering for two weeks as a peer counselor at a camp for South African youth (www.IamWeAreYouth.org ). The IAWA camp focuses on global awareness, entrepreneurship and social responsibility for youth in the Royal Bafokeng Nation, a traditional community in the North West province of the country.
Financial Need: $2,650.00
- Air travel to/from South Africa -- $1,800.00
- Ground transport from Johannesburg to Phokeng -- $100.00
- Food and Lodging (not provided by the camp) -- $600.00 ($43/day)
- Incidental Expenses for 2 weeks -- $150.00 ($10/day in Phokeng)
2. LEADERSHIP: I was chosen as one of 160 scholars from 17 countries for Engage Africa, a highly competitive program at the African Leadership Academy -- Global Scholars Program, in Johannesburg, South Africa (https://alasummer.org/ ). The three-week experience focuses on youth leadership and social entrepreneurship training -- working with other youth from around the world to develop new ideas to solve community problems.
Financial Need: $4,600.00
- Air travel to/from South Africa -- Covered above
- Program Tuition -- $4,300.00 (Includes room, board, travel)
- Incidental Expenses for 3 weeks -- $300.00 ($15/day in Jo'burg)
Personal Contribution: $1,250.00
I am out of school for the summer, and working as a lifeguard at DC Parks and Recreation pools. I will continue working full-time until I leave, and expect to make up the shortfall between the total estimated cost of $7,250 and $6,000 requested on this gofundme.
TIME IS SHORT!! I am planning to leave in ONLY 3 WEEKS. I would love to talk to anyone who is interested about the programs I am hoping to work on, and answer any questions about the funding that I need. Please contact me through this app!!
THANKS IN ADVANCE for your support. If I am successful in raising the money to participate, I am certain that this summer in Africa will be a life changing experience for me, and be a huge step to my future career goals in international business or foreign service.
