Stellenbosch, South Africa Fund

Donation protected
I am currently in my second year at the University of Georgia studying Environmental Engineering with a minor in Sociology.  Each year the University of Georgia selects 25 students from a pool of hundreds of applicants to participate in the four-week long Stellenbosch University Study Abroad program in South Africa.  I am proud to have been accepted into the 2015 program which takes place from May 9 through June 10.

While in South Africa, I will be attending Stellenbosch University to take two courses, South African Society and Politics of Development.  I will have the opportunity to interact with South African university students by living on campus.  I will also be participating in a service-learning project in the nearby communities of Kayamandi and Lynedoch where I will volunteer with an after-school program for children between the ages of 5 and 14.

This is an incredible opportunity to see and explore a different part of the world.  I am looking forward to experiencing a new culture, learning in a new academic environment, and experiencing all that the South African people have to offer.
 
My goal is to raise $7000 for both the airfare and program fees.  The deadline for my fundraising is April 30, 2015.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about this experience, feel free to contact me via Facebook.
