Hello everyone! I, Rachel Martin, am going back to Romania! That is correct, 2.5 weeks after getting home from this crazy thing called The World Race, where I traveled to 11 countries in 11 months. The country list is as follows: Philippines, China, South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Guatemala, Honduras and then finally Nicaragua. In February (Month 6), I went to Romania as was mentioned above. I worked with incredibly awesome people who are there to bring hope to a community that was oppressed by political distress a few decades ago. There is still oppression from the past and people have these figurative chains that need to be broken off. Will you help me in this? My plan is to leave from Milwaukee to Atlanta for training and then leave the states for 4 months in pursuit of Romania. The dates are August 25th to December 19th. I will be working in two communities about 3 hours by train away from Bucharest named Draganesti-Olt and Stoenesti. I will be working with Hope Church teaching English to the community of Draganesti and then working with a sister church in a Roma (gypsy) village teaching children about love and what that looks like. This is what I’m asking of you…if you choose to accept the challenge. I need lots of prayer. The people of this area have been hurt by foreigners in the past, so I ask that even if you pray one prayer that’s more help sometimes than financial donations. However, I also need $2,850 by the time I leave, if not before. This cost covers everything, except my personal expenses such as toiletries, outside food not in the budget and then also trips to Bucharest or such. If you click the button below, it will bring you to site called PayPal. PayPal is a great way to fundraise If you and has benefited thousands in the past. Fill out the information, if you so desire as it is fairly basic. If you want to send me an email, feel free to do that. My email is rlmartin06@gmail.com. You don’t have to go outside of the country in order to see world change. There are plenty of things that need to change in Sioux Falls, Madison, everywhere…and believe that you are the voice to that place. I am a voice for those in Draganesti and Stoenesti. This is where I’m supposed to go, so will you support that?
