Financial Help for a Youth Exchange Opportunity

Hi! I am Jorge Cyril Viray, a fresh graduate from the Philippines and I got recently accepted on a youth exchange program in Thailand. Thru this, youths from the Asia-Pacific region will have a chance to immerse and create solutions to emerging problems of the region. The entire program costs 1000 USD which includes our accommodations, food, and travel (excluding airfare and other personal costs). During my application process, I have successfully qualified for a 15% discount. However, given our limited means, this amount is still big for me and beyond what my family can support.

I am really eager to join in this two-week long activity because I believe that this great opportunity will give me an excellent learning experience to eventually apply my ideas and knowledge and that this event will give me a chance to better my career. There are still a lot of work to do to solve our global problems but I believe that thru these kinds of initiatives, the youth of tomorrow will be more capable of facing these challenges. And I really need all the help that I can get to have the means to be a part of this activity and make things happen.

I promise to share some money with my friends who were also accepted into the program if ever you'll choose to help me. They, too, need the financial support to be able to join.

We only have this short time to raise the funds and I'm positive that there are people out there who would believe in us, and that we shouldn't let this opportunity pass just because we didn't have the money to.

Thank you for your kind heart!
