Campaign Story
I have been selected as one of seven teachers to teach English in Ipala, Guatemala this summer for the sister cities program(read below to find out more)! This oppourtunity is a dream come true for me as I will be living with a local Guatemalan family, practicing my Spanish and simultaneously, I will have the magnificient opportunity to give back by teaching English to local children ranging in ages from 5-17. The majority of the cost of room and board is covered however, travel to and from Guatemala is not included. On average flights are running between $600-$800 roundtrip from DC to Guatemala City. The dates for this year’s program are July 10-26, 2015. Please help me as I work towards reaching my goal to participate in this awesome once and a lifetime opportunity. EVERY little bit helps! Gracias!
