Funding Request for 6-Month Expedition to Scandinavia, the Arctic, and Greenland with Long-Term Relocation Goals


I am reaching out to seek funding support for a transformative expedition to Scandinavia, the Arctic, and Greenland, with the ultimate aim of exploring potential opportunities for relocation and long-term engagement in the region.

The proposed expedition will span six months and encompass immersive experiences in Sweden, Norway, Poland, as well as the Arctic territories of Svalbard and Longyearbyen, culminating in an extended stay in Greenland. This journey holds significant personal and professional importance as I seek to deepen my understanding of these diverse cultures, environments, and opportunities for long-term residency.

Here is an outline of the objectives and activities planned for the expedition:

1. Cultural Immersion and Integration Engaging with local communities, learning about their customs, traditions, and ways of life to facilitate cultural integration and understanding.
2. Exploration of Potential Residency Locations: Conducting thorough research and exploration in various cities and regions to assess factors such as quality of life, employment opportunities, healthcare, and education.
3.Professional Networking and Collaboration: Establishing connections with local businesses, organizations, and professionals to explore potential collaborations, employment opportunities, or entrepreneurial ventures.
4. Language Acquisition and Skills Development: Immersing myself in language courses and skill-building activities to enhance communication abilities and adaptability to the local environment.
5. Exploration of Natural and Cultural Landmarks: Discovering the natural beauty, historical sites, and cultural landmarks of the region to gain a deeper appreciation for its rich heritage and diversity.

In order to realize the objectives of this expedition and pave the way for a successful transition to life in Scandinavia or Greenland, I am seeking financial support to cover the following expenses:

1. Travel and Accommodation: Airfare, transportation, and accommodation costs for the duration of the expedition across multiple countries and regions.
2. Living Expenses: Daily expenses such as food, utilities, and incidental costs during the exploration period.
3. Professional Development: Language courses, skill-building workshops, and networking events to enhance employability and integration into the local community.
4. Legal and Administrative Fees: Visa applications, residency permits, and other legal requirements for long-term relocation.
5. Contingency Fund: Emergency funds for unforeseen circumstances or expenses encountered during the expedition.

I am deeply committed to making a meaningful contribution to the communities and environments I will encounter during this expedition, as well as to fostering positive relationships and collaborations that will endure well beyond the duration of my stay.

Your support in making this expedition possible would not only fulfill a lifelong dream but also open doors to new opportunities for personal growth, cultural exchange, and professional development. I am more than willing to provide detailed project proposals, budgets, and any additional information you may require to consider this funding request.

Thank you for considering my proposal, and I eagerly anticipate the possibility of embarking on this transformative journey with your support.

Warmest regards,

Motebang Diaho
