Volunteering in Africa

I have been selected to represent the great USA by volunteering in South Africa this summer with International Student Volunteers (ISV), a volunteer travel organization. I am seeking your sponsorship, so that I can make a difference abroad this summer.

ISV is an internationally recognized and awarded organization that sends university students from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia to various countries around the world in an effort to impact entire communities and endangered habitats in need. I am so excited to have an opportunity to assist others in the world, but, as you may know, international travel can be somewhat costly. This is why I’m asking for your help.

I would be grateful if you could prayerfully consider financially sponsoring me to go on this community development expedition. I am really excited for the opportunity to help others, to make a tangible difference in the world, to travel, and to see the exciting culture and scenery Africa has to offer. I would genuinely appreciate, however, any support you might offer, whether financial or through prayer and sharing of my cause with others.

Your donation will go toward my program and travel costs (approximately $5,000), covering my accommodations, most meals, project materials and support, transportation, and tour guidance. While on my community development project, I’ll learn about the social and financial challenges of people living in developing countries and communities, which will strengthen my understanding of the world at large and lead me on a path of humanitarian efforts to impact our world for years to come. Past ISV volunteers have worked with children in orphanages and rescue centers, and built schools, medical facilities and community gardens, and more projects. With your help, I will be able to broaden my cultural and social awareness, as well as improve the quality of life for disadvantaged families and children.
