Hi my name is Veronica, I am seeking support to travel to China with my college, for my education studies and career. I currently go to Buffalo State College; studying Fashion Textile and Technology. I am a Junior in my studies and worked very hard to get to this place. In May, my college will be going to China to explore the culture; participate in educational classes and network. My focus is in Textile (fabric) Design and China is the leading country in textile manufacturing. It it crucial that I experience this opportunity to my education and my career. I wish to learn more about the culture and ways of life in China because in the future this could potential be where I call home. Like everyone, I have a story way too long to put in this box but I am currently displaced/homeless, working and going to school. I desperately need support from my friends, family, or anyone willing to help! I am a junior so the possibility that my school goes to China next year (2019) is slim to none. That is why it is so important for me to experience this venture.
