My Story
Hello! I'm Gerhard Vermeulen, and I am heading to Peru during my summer holiday in January 2012 as part of a team of passionate students to volunteer as a teacher and community worker in rural Cuzco.
I need $3000 to pay for my travel expenses, and this is where I need your help! Your donation would make a huge difference to my fundraising efforts.
I am currently in my second year of studying full time to become a primary school teacher. My passion for education and aid work is what has inspired me to
travel to Peru and spend my holiday making a worthwhile contribution
to the development of a rural community.
During my time in Peru I will be teaching in a rural primary school, and also working with residents in the community with construction projects such as refurbishing schools, and building greenhouses.
I NEED YOUR HELP TO GET THERE!
I need your help to raise $3000 before the 23rd October to cover my travel expenses, this includes my international flights as well as my domestic travel. I would greatly appreciate any donation you are willing to make, any amount no matter how big or small would be a HUGE help. If you help me raise this amount of money it would mean that I would not have to sell my car to pay for my flights.
I am currently working part-time at the Kaizen Institute NZ as their Web Administrator, and also at Ace Rental Cars as a shuttle van driver and car groomer. My wages from my part time work is going towards covering my living and accommodation expenses.
We will also raise separate funds to cover the Antipodeans registration and program costs.
Thank you so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it!
