User blog:Elentári of the Stars/Orbit, the Queen of... loose pocket change?

My name is Victoria AKA ORBIT (you probs know that tho) and I live in NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA (eh?). I am currently fundraising money in order to go across seas and hopefully change either one or multiple lives. My trip will be in the summer of 2016 (because 3550 doesn't just fall from a tree :'D).

First, before I go into detail, I'd like to explain what program I am working under; Me to We.

"Me to We is an innovative social enterprise that offers socially conscious and environmentally friendly products and life-changing experiences."  I am a shamelessly idealistic youth with the mind set of taking matters into my own hands and helping to better another's life.

I used to wake up every single day and groan about the fact that I had to go to school because I was either exhausted or just didn't want to. Now I understand and realize that this is not just something I HAVE to do, this is an opportunity that people in developing countries (woman most importantly) would give an arm or a leg for. This is a chance for me to get an education and do something with my life. Some people never even get the chance. Some kids don't even know what a school is.

DID YOU KNOW? The community I will be going to will be home to many Haitians who lost their homes and everything in the 2010 earthquake? Those people are considered unworthy or the dirt of society and so they are shunned for this.

I want to change this. When I fund-raise 3550 dollars, I will have the chance to go to the Dominican Republic and help build some of the first Free the Children schools (this is their first year going to DR). Not only do I volunteer on this project, I expand as an individual and learn and further understand life in another country.

I will be building literal foundations.

It is not just a stamp in my passport. It's an opportunity to experience the day in a life of a local family, understanding how people in the Dominican Republic get their income, learn Spanish, and volunteer on a development project alongside community members.

This is not a vacation. I will not sit on a beach. I will be studying social issues that arise over seas and help give children a school where they can learn.

Help me help to change the lives of people in the Dominican Republic by supporting my trip cost with some donations. I doesn't matter how much you donate. I wouldn't have an issue with fifty cents. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to explore the dreams of an idealistic youth trying to make a difference in the world. This will just be the start of my journey to helping make a difference.

HOW TO HELP ME: 1. Donate 2. Spread the word via all types of social media or even freaking riddit. I don't care. I just need as many people to see this as possible.
