US$1,045.00raised of $3,000.00 goal goal
No more donations are being accepted at this time. Please contact the campaign owner if you would like to discuss further funding opportunities
We have decided to take a month off from work and drive from Sweden to Morocco to participate as volunteers in a charity project to deliver solar power to 9 remote schools in the Atlas Mountains.
The project Light2Learn.org needs people with 4x4 vehicles and a willingness to help with the logistics, transportation and installations of the solar power panels at the schools
We are very excited about the trip, but since this will generate quite a lot of extra costs, we are looking for donors who would like to help us get there. The costs include fuel (at least $2500 just to get there and back), ferry costs, equipping the car, etc.
If you feel this sounds like something you would like to contribute to, any contribution is highly appreciated!

Grattis på förödelsedagen i förskott! Det här bidraget bör räcka till en drönare, bränsle för hela resan samt en ny Landcruiser!
