Fundraising campaign by

US$105.00Donated So Far
My name is Candice Rose and I have recently been accepted to participate overseas in a volunteer and leadership program with EDventure. EDventure is a volunteer organization which offers participants leadership and personal development certification, whilst engaging in meaningful volunteer projects in the developing world I will be travelling with EDventure as a volunteer assisting in a conservation project in Costa Rica. During my program, I will spend 3 weeks engaging in leadership development workshops with other volunteers, while applying these skills directly to efforts in wildlife sanctuaries in Costa Rica. I will be directly involved in creating positive change and providing direct support within country. While working in conservation efforts, I will help care for wildlife, such as sea turtles and learn firsthand about environmental issues that affect us on a global scale. While assisting in country, I will have direct contact with community members and community leaders, while also engaging in local cultural activities. This will help me to expand my international network, to understand the local communities and to build bridges with another culture that will further develop my global leadership skills. This experience will no doubt push me beyond my comfort zone and allow me to fully experience learning in a new and unique format. Additionally, this experience will provide me the skills I need to enhance my resume and prepare me to be an asset in the professional world as I pursue a career in wildlife conservation biology. The overall cost for the 3 week program is $3500 (excluding flights). This includes my accommodation, meals, project resources, transportation within Costa Rica, and financial support for the community in which I will be volunteering. Even a minimal donation or sponsorship will help me toward this incredible opportunity. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. This is a unique and incredible opportunity that will prove advantageous in many aspects of my future. Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank You, Candice Rose
