Hi, Welcome to the campaign!
This summer, I will be traveling to Ladakh, India to do some non-profit work with both Operation Groundswell and other local nonprofits like "17000ft".
In brief, Ladakh is a rural village that is cut off from the main cities six months out of a year because of harsh conditions.So as volunteers, we will be working with 17,000ft foundation to work on needs-based projects in Ladakh. Those projects mainly aim to improve education and make going to school a fruitful and safe experience for these kids to enjoy all throughout the year. To accomplish this, we will be mainly doing the following:
- Rebuilding infrastructure
- Setting up libraries
- Providing the schools with technology to enhance information retention
- And more.. (based on the needs for the community!)
During the forty day period that we will be staying in India, backpacking and volunteering, we hope to create maximum impact; however, in order to do that we will need your help to provide those materials in preparation for our trip. All donations will go directly into making this project a reality.
Unfortunately, we are now limited on time and the date of the trip is coming closer. We have only raised about 15% of our goal so far through this website and other means, but we are looking to hopefully raise 100% before June 8th!
PLEASE NOTE:
1. Deadline of the campaign is actually June 20th and NOT June 28th.
2. Goal is set 10 $500 as a minimum and not a cap to the funds. Obviously, the more funds we collect, the better! WE ONLY SET THE GOAL TO $500 FOR TECHNICAL REASONS, BUT WE AIM TO RAISE $3500.
While this is my personal donation page, the rest of the volunteers and I really appreciate your help in making this happen! Thank you.
