My Travel Story

by: Gustavo Heredia Start Date: Apr 29, 2023 - End Date: Aug 28, 2023
As a low-income, first-generation student, I understand the challenges that many underprivileged students face in accessing higher education. However, I also believe that education can be a powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and create a better future. That's why I'm launching this fundraising campaign to cover my flights, personal expenses, and the VISA process so that I can go to Pitzer College and continue empowering other underprivileged students to pursue their dreams.

I've been involved in social projects, volunteering, and trying to make a positive impact in my community.  I have been recognized as a Global Teen Leader, Protagonist of Change finalist by the University of Applied Sciences, and Young Challenger in social entrepreneurship, among other achievements. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to social causes and education. Indeed. ever since 2020, I have been leading a youth-led organization Edulimitless where we have helped more than 300 low-income students to learn English and pursue other interests. You can get to know more about me here.

Thank you for considering supporting my fundraising campaign. You can find the cost breakdown here. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of underprivileged students and create a more equitable society. Perhaps, we are not able to change the whole world, but we can change students' lives through education. Let's make it happen!
