Service and Study Abroad
Donation protected
I am honored to have been selected by Tulane's Center For Public Service to attend the Engage in St. Martin study abroad program this summer!
I need to raise $770 by April 7 and $770 by April 28 to cover the costs of the study abroad tuition for the Tulane "Engage in St. Martin" program in the Carribean.
In addition, I need to raise $400 to cover the cost of flights to and from the program.
Not only will I also fundraise while here at Tulane to show my dedication, I willl add those funds to this pool and post updates as I earn.
Tulane's Center For Public Service intends for students to meaningfully engage with locals , work and meet with community members committed to cultural, food, and economic sustainability, as well as gain an in-depth understanding of anthropological concepts and research methodology, especially as they relate to postcolonial contexts and the shaping of cultural/linguistic identities and socio-economic/political systems.
What I am most excited for:
The St. Martin program will involve up to 12 Tulane students in community service projects with the nonprofit organization 4 Real We Agree With Culture, founded and run by Rastafari elders and youth, with collaborative projects with the Ecotourism program implemented by the Tourism Bureau of St. Martin. Activities that students will partake in include:
Tutoring youth and giving educational tours to school groups and tourists
Learning about the running of a nonprofit (administration, outreach, community events, fundraising, etc.) and the organization of agricultural/crafts fairs
Participating in workshops on the history and cultural relevance of local foodways, ethnobotany and traditional systems of knowledge, and the medicinal value of plants
Learning about biodiversity in St. Martin and agricultural methods and strategies by tending to an urban garden, preparing organic produce grown at the garden for sale, and cooking vegetarian meals using produce and traditional Caribbean seasonings
