The campaign owner has stopped the page from accepting further donations. Please contact them if you'd still like to donate
**UPDATE**
I have decided to let this fundraising page open for a few more weeks because a friend contacted me and asked if they still can give donations. I will continue to update the progress of my MSc journey here to let everyone know that your money is for a good cause.
Thank you so much.

*************
Hello there!
My name is Roslina Ragai, and I have been working in conservation since 2005. After almost 18 years of working in this field, I desire to further my education. Recently, I was accepted to the professional master's program at the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin. The University of Wisconsin is one of the top universities in the United States for conservation and environment studies, and it produces competent graduates in their fields. This is why I think this program will help me move up in my career and, most importantly, give back to my community regarding my conservation practices and leadership.
By obtaining this degree, I will apply practical interdisciplinary skillsets in navigating complex decision-making among diverse interest groups in my workplace. I have been working with diverse groups from international researchers to local communities in rural areas so this course will improve my engagement with people, manage programs, understand applied science and communicate effectively. One of my dreams is to establish a community-driven conservation platform within local communities that live neighbouring the Protected Areas.
This Environmental Conservation master's degree offers a 15-month tuition period with 12 months on campus and three months in my home country, Malaysia. I have been successfully awarded two tuition assistance awards from the university to support my tuition fees. However, it is still not enough to cover the cost of this program.
I have been looking for available funding resources at home and also online specifically for study in the US but I haven’t been able to find additional funding for this year. At this point, when all doors seem to be closed, I realize that I need help from our community.
Thank you so much for your kindness.

Expressing my Gratitude
Update posted by Roslina binti Ragai at 01:48 pmFirst, I would like to thank all the donors for my fundraising. Although it does not reach the target, I am already thankful enough for your encouragement and support. I successfully submit my F-1 application to the university's international service centre two days ago. It will take about three weeks. . . . .
