This summer, I have the opportunity to participate in an intensive internship in Cape Town, South Africa through the Entrepreneurship and Empowerment in South Africa (EESA) program. I will be living in community with local students and working directly with entrepreneurs and their families to help strengthen small businesses through financial planning, organization, and sustainable growth. These businesses are often the primary source of income for families, and supporting them means helping create long-term stability and hope.

I felt drawn to this program because it combines my interest in business with my desire to serve others in a meaningful, hands-on way. I truly believe God has placed this opportunity on my heart as a way to step outside my comfort zone, grow personally and professionally, and learn from a culture different from my own. I am incredibly grateful for any support, encouragement, or prayers as I pursue this opportunity. If you feel led to support me, your contribution will go directly toward housing, program fees, and travel for this six-credit educational experience. Every gift, no matter the size, truly makes a difference. Thank you for believing in me and walking with me through this journey. Your prayers and support mean more than I can express.
