Hello world, and welcome to my little corner of the internet! You may wonder what this site is all about, why I made it, and what I am trying to do here. Well it’s very simple – I’m trying to get to Ghana!
You see, I am a middle school science teacher who loves my job, loves to help people, and of course loves to travel! So next summer I will be combining all of my passions during a month long stay in the remote villages of Ghana, teaching native children how to read and write. However, even though this is a volunteer mission – it is NOT free! I will be working with a great group – “Global Vision International”, who do their best to keep the costs of food and lodging down but adding in the cost of airfare, insurance etc…it’s gonna cost me!
Well the great folks over at GVI have plenty of fundraising ideas for their volunteers, and given the amount of time I spend on the internet I thought that building a website would be a great way to kick off my fundraising efforts (and maybe inspire some of you to donate to the cause!). I know that times are tough for all of us, and no one is exactly willing to hand out money to someone that they do not know – but I still want you to stick around and follow me on my path to a place that I have always dreamed of visiting! To be continued……
