Hey there,

My name is Malini Jain and I am a Thai student studying Economics and International Development Studies at McGill University. My goal is to raise enough money to fund my 6 month internship at the Permanent Mission of Thailand to the United Nations in New York City.

Working in the field of international development has been my dream for as long as I can remember. My journey started as a girl in a small school in Thailand. I was without any knowledge of English until seven years ago when my parents sent me to a boarding school in India. Being the only foreign student in class, I faced and overcome challenges of having to learn English while catching up with academic workload as well as coping with culture shock. After a few years in India, I was admitted to one of the most prestigious international relations programs in the world – The Presidential Classroom in Washington D.C. It was this opportunity that introduced me to the field of diplomacy. I further developed my passion for international development by being involved in a student run NGO at McGill University and served as the Vice President of External Affairs. With that position, I expanded the portfolio tremendously through raising money to fund international volunteering project for seven McGill students to teach English to underprivileged children in Guatemala, and sending thirteen students to attend the UN Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW’57) in March 2013. Being a part of this organization made me realize that I want to wake up every day working to make this world a better place through international cooperation and diplomacy.

Now I have the opportunity to realize my dream as I have been offered an internship position at the Permanent Mission of Thailand to the United Nations in New York City. This experience will officially be the biggest stepping stone for my career in international relations. There are very few students my age from my country that are fortunate enough to have the opportunities like this. That being said, I do not want to let it get away. I know I have the passion and dedication needed to succeed in the field. Unfortunately, the only thing stopping me is the financial support. With little savings and without your help, I will not be able to take on this internship without your help.

Approximate Rent: 1500$ x 6 months = $9000

Food: 200 x 6 = $1200

Total: $10,200

By helping me, I want to return the favour not just to you but also to others in need as well. So,if I reach 50% of my goal, I will donate $150 toThe UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women which aim to prevent violence against women and girls, a cause extremely close to my heart. http://www.unwomen.org/en/trust-funds/un-trust-fund-to-end-violence-against-women/

And If I am fortunate enough to reach my goal, I will donate another $150 to the World Food Program’s Fill the Cup campaign. With that amount of money, you will help me feed over 600 meals to children in developing countries! https://www.wfp.org/donate/fillthecup

I hope you do donate to this cause. Help me help others by sending me to New York! If you have any questions about my campaign, the internship or anything in general, feel free to contact me. I look forward to your contribution!

Kind regards,

Malini Jain
