Hello everyone!
Right after my foundation studies, I took a gap year trip to Cambodia. I worked with a center sponsored by my home church and stayed for a month with the children there. Me and a friend organized the library and spent time studying and working with the children. Especially with school and whatnots. (I wrote about my time there in this next link - Cambodia - give it a read!). During that time I met my pen pal of many years and have developed new friendships with the children in the center. Although I have been in contact with them via Facebook, I have been wanting to visit the batch I befriended - before they graduate high school and leave the center.
I have been trying to fly over for a visit, but I never got the time and money to plan something of such. However, this summer, I will be able to spend a long weekend to fly over and visit the center. The only problem right now is that I do not have the financial means to buy plane tickets. (sad! I know) I am currently self-sponsored and am on a scholarship. I have been putting money aside, but funds are so tight for me this semester, and I have had to pay for unforeseen circumstances. Also best as I can I am trying to not burden my parents to ask them for money. But Eugenia, why not start a gofundme page so payments can be made online? Sadly pages like that charge for taxes and other hidden fees. So if you ask me if does not seem right that I use donated money to pay for taxes! 8.5% is a lot of money if you think about it. So let us just use it instead?
But with that being said, my birthday AND Christmas is just around the corner! If you do find such generosity to want to gift me with anything this year - please let it be in a form of donation to my trip! Because flying in asia is cheap - and deals are always amazing this trip will not even cost that much - I will be needing only $300 or less!
