Help Joshua Experience History Firsthand: Educational Trip

Donation protected

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out to family, friends, and generous community members to help our son, Joshua, take part in a once-in-a-lifetime educational opportunity — a 7-day historical tour of Washington, D.C., New York City, and Boston with his school.

Joshua has been selected to join this immersive, curriculum-enriching experience that brings American history to life. The total cost of the trip is $4,500, and we’re asking for your support to help make this dream a reality for him.

This isn’t just a vacation — it’s a powerful and educational journey that will allow Joshua to walk in the footsteps of U.S. presidents, civil rights leaders, and revolutionary thinkers. Here’s just a glimpse of the transformative learning opportunities included in this trip:

Washington, D.C.:

Explore Mt. Vernon, home of George Washington

Visit the National Archives and see the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence

Reflect at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and Vietnam, Lincoln, and Korean War memorials

Attend an educational performance at the Kennedy Center or a major league baseball game

Tour the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court with expert guides

New York City:

Ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to learn about immigration and freedom

Visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to understand the impact of modern history

Explore Wall Street, Broadway, Central Park, and Times Square

Attend a Broadway show and experience the heart of American arts and culture

Boston:

Step into Revolutionary War history along the Freedom Trail and visit Harvard Yard

Tour the Boston Tea Party Museum and Faneuil Hall

Learn about colonial life at Lexington, Concord, and the House of the Seven Gables

End the journey with a traditional New England lobster dinner and stories from local historians

Every day of this itinerary is packed with educational experiences that will build Joshua’s understanding of history, government, culture, and the value of civic engagement. It’s a chance for him to grow, learn, and build memories that will last a lifetime.

We would be deeply grateful for any amount you can contribute to help Joshua reach his $4,500 goal. Every donation — big or small — brings him one step closer to this incredible journey.

100% of your donation will go directly toward Joshua’s trip expenses.

Thank you for supporting Joshua’s education and future!

Warmly,
Joshua's Parents.
