MY GOAL THIS YEAR : NICARAGUA 2018
who am I AND WHAT AM I TRYING TO DO? Hi! My name is Stephanie Bucuroaia and I am a high school junior in the Bay Area. I recently was nominated and accepted into a program called Global Glimpse which offers students, like myself, the opportunity to immerse themselves in developing countries such as Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador. On June 8, 2018 I am set to depart for Estelí, Nicaragua where I will be located for the next 2 weeks.
The purpose of my trip is not to travel or to vacation, but to focus my education outside of the normal classroom - teacher scenario. Global Glimpse offers leadership development through community service, mentoring programs, and immersion in shockingly new environments. I will be participating in projects such as English tutoring for locals, developing and implementing a community project and shadowing a high school student, on top of being able to work with locals.I hope to challenging my independence in order to learn and grow from this experience and come home with a new perspective. I have always held a passion for giving back, and my trip to Nicaragua will not only allow me to do just that, but also to witness the effects my efforts can have on those who do not have the same advantages I do. Having been apart of my schools leadership program for the past 2 years, I have been a role model and active member in my community, and hope to continue my development as a young leader through global glimpse. This trip will connect me with parts of the world I otherwise would never encounter and help me further understand diversity in the world around me. |
HOW YOU CAN HELP Those 14 days spent serving in Estelí are what I am striving to raise money for : my current goal is to fundraise $2,000 out of the total $3,800 by May 2nd, 2018. Broken down that is $950.00 each month, which is alot... I know, however, by reaching out to my friends, community, and compassionate individuals, I believe I will find the support I need. Any donations- no matter how big or how small can help me connect my passions for leadership and outreach with Nicaragua. Thank you for taking the time to read this; your contributions will be the first steps taken towards encouraging the next generation to give back.
With love Steph Please note : I do not have access to any money donated ; all contributions are linked into my portal account monitored by the official Global Glimpse organization. All donations are tax deductible under 501(c)(3).
