A Humble Request: FUNDRAISING

Every day, this journey becomes more real. Yesterday I learned more details about my placement. I WILL BE TEACHING 8TH AND 9TH GRADE ENGLISH AND HISTORY AT THE CHAWAMA COMMUNITY SCHOOL! I also found out the name of my host family!

As my life at the end of this tunnel becomes more clear, I still have to get on a plane to get myself halfway around the world. Then I have to find a way to live for year. And I want to live in such a way that is not a detriment to my new community, but a resource.

All of this, of course, practically takes just that: resources. I humbly ask for a gift from yours.  Each international YAV is asked to raise $4,000 personally. I need to raise $2,000 by July 1, 2014 and an additional $2,000 by January 1, 2015. Furthermore, as a team of four volunteers serving in Zambia we have an additional goal of raising $16,000 to support the YAV program. This makes my fundraising goal around $8,000. Seeing as the actual average cost to support a YAV per year is $24,000, I am extremely thankful to have this opportunity and I am indebted to the program and all those that support the Presbyterian Church USA.

Please consider investing in me, the Chawama Community School, and also all YAVs serving worldwide. Donating is a way to share this experience with me, and I promise stories and perspective through my blog, through letters, and certainly when I return.
