My Travel Story

by: Maria Conta Start Date: Mar 7, 2017 - End Date: Sep 6, 2017
I've always wanted to help the less fortunate. I don't consider myself wealthy, but I do consider myself fortunate. I am fortunate enough to have a warm bed to sleep in, food on my table and a loving network of friends and family. These orphans don't.

Did you know: 1 in 9 people suffer from chronic malnourishment? Almost 50% of the world population lives off $2.50 or less a day? That an estimated 100 million people are homeless worldwide?

I know I can't change the world. What I can do is make as much of a difference as I can - whether that would be through helping one child read, building a school or by simply showing them that someone out there cares.

As a full-time student, my funds to achieve this goal are limited which is why I'm asking you guys for your help. Anything you can donate is appreciated! Help me make a difference for these orphans!
