Studying abroad to Japan with AFS

Hello my name is Olivia Salazar-Kaufmann I live in Mequon, Wisconsin. I will be a sophmore this upcoming fall and I wish to study abroad to Japan during my junior year. But the school years in Japan are different compare to U.S schools because if I go to Japan for my junior year I would be leaving March of 2018 and come back Feb of 2019. That means at this moment I'm getting everything ready for me to study abroad. I've set this gofundme page to help me pay for the cost of studying abroad because my single father doesn't have the capability to send me himself. Due to the fact he already works very hard to raise my two younger siblings.  So for me to be able to experience this life changing exchange I must raise all the money myself. Besides this gofundme page I am planning on looming and selling hats on etsy.com, holding benefit shows in my town, and having a seperate donations page on AFS site.  All in all I hope to reach my goal so I can go and experience a life in Japan.
