Hi I'm Amaya a second year student and Hope Scholar at Georgia State University.

I’m raising $1,000 to study Tropical Biology in Belize. Three years ago, I traveled to Belize for a service trip and completely fell in love with the country at just 16 years old. Now, I have the opportunity to return; this time to study the very ecosystems that make Belize so special. This hands-on study abroad program will allow me to explore marine and rainforest environments while gaining real-world environmental science experience. I need to raise $3,400 for this trip Every donation helps cover travel, research, and academic expenses. Thank you for investing in my education and helping me return to a place that changed my life.
