My Travel Story

by: Mianka Bezuidenhout Start Date: Apr 7, 2025 - End Date: Aug 6, 2025
I’ve carried a quiet dream in my heart for as long as I can remember—a dream to step outside my familiar world and make a real difference in a place that needs it most. Growing up in a family where every day is a struggle to put food on the table, the thought of volunteering in Thailand has been both a beacon of hope and a reminder of the challenges I face.

Thailand isn’t just a destination for me; it’s a place where I believe my compassion and willingness to help can light up the lives of others. I picture myself working hand in hand with communities, sharing in their struggles and celebrating their triumphs, all while learning from their rich culture and resilient spirit. Every smile I imagine receiving and every kind word exchanged fuels my determination.

However, the path to this dream is steep and lined with obstacles. My family’s financial hardship means that even the smallest steps towards this goal feel like giant leaps. That’s why I’m asking for your help. Your generous support will go directly towards travel expenses, living costs, and the necessary preparations to begin this journey of service and self-discovery in Thailand.

By contributing, you’re not just funding a trip; you’re igniting a spark of hope that I can share with people who need it most. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to a future where I can give back and create meaningful change. Thank you for considering being a part of my journey—a journey that’s fueled by passion, perseverance, and an unwavering belief that we all have the power to make a difference.
