My Story
Hi I’m Samantha, and I have a really good opportunity to go to Costa Rica, and help with many things there. I would be staying with a village family in a place called La Paz. There, I would be helping out in schools, as well as cultivating in their farms. Another very exciting thing I would do is teach excited kids how to play soccer. This is mainly what this trip is about, and I think soccer is a great sport that EVERY kid should know how to play. I would bring my camera with me, and make a video about my experience, and the Costa Rican culture. This is a great chance for me to do something I have been dreaming of for a long time. I would be helping a lot of people, including young children.
The Impact
My campaign would have a very positive effect on the Costa Rican village, and the kids in it! First, I would be helping village schools, which provide education for kids. I would be assisting farms in La Paz, as well as the family I will be staying with. The best part is the impact I would have on village kids. I would help them by teaching them soccer, an amazing sport, and help them improve their skills. Not to mention, I’m documenting ALL of this, so I would be able to bring their culture, and share it with everyone. If this can't happen, a ton of kids would miss out on a good sport, and villages wouldn’t benefit at all.
What We Need & What You Get
Ever since I found out about this trip, I started collecting money right away. It's been two years now, and i don't have the amount of money I need. To go on this trip, I need 5000 dollars to cover the program fee and air fare. 100% of the money I make will be going towards this trip, and helping others. If I cannot make the amount of money I need to go this year, I will save it, and use it to go on this trip next year. It would mean a whole lot to me, and this money would go towards helping my dream: helping others. I would be going on this trip through the program Rustic Pathways, which offers trips for kids to go out into different parts of the world to help out.
