My Travel Story

by: Jeanine Sammis Start Date: May 1, 2014 - End Date: Jul 14, 2014
Dear Potential Sponsors,

     Hello!  My name is Jeanine.  I was born, bred and raised in the 'burbs' of Long Island, N.Y. It has always been my passion to work with threatened and endagnered species in Africa.  Up until recently I have only day dreamed and talked about fulfilling my call in life.  I've finally decided to make my dream a reality.  After years of watching Animal Planet and National Geographic I'm now going to embark on this journey to give back to the world in a most positive and meaningful way.  This volunteer trip will allow me to have an impact on the lives of some of the world's most beautiful wild animals (the Big Five) and help to ensure a hopeful future with a happy ending for the animals that need it most. Through this once in a lifetime opportunity It is my goal to come back and educate others of the dangers these animals face; and to inspire people the way I have been inspired to give back and hopefully want to volunteer abroad, too. Thank you to all who read this and share in my love and passion for wild animals.  

                                                                                 Sincerely,
                                                                                 Jeanine
