I have always been very socially-minded and interested in development and charity, but this year I had the chance to take this passion one step further and became part of The Oaktree Foundation as a mentor in their Schools4Schools program! This experience has been life altering and meeting other young people who are as driven to change the world as I am, has only made me more eager to achieve our goals.
In March 2013, I will take my work with Oaktree to a brand new level by joining over 1000 other passionate young people on 'The Roadtrip to End Poverty' during which I will travel through local communities, meeting and speaking to everyday people, and will have a chance to educate them about the importance of foreign aid, breakdown prejudices and misunderstandings about development, share the work of the Oaktree Foundation and empower people to take action against poverty! I will also attend official events and have the chance to liaise with politicians and youth leaders.
So, what do I need from You?
I need YOU to help me fund my place on the Roadtrip!!! The price is $350 to cover all expenses (accommodation, food, training, events and travel) and I have 3 weeks to raise $300 of that through this site. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and will really make a difference!
To help spread the word and share my journey, I will be documenting my experience on Twitter (AlyOnTheRoad) and on my blog (alyontheroad.com) through photos, videos and rich text posts.
All donations will receive a thank you on the blog, but…
- Donations over $10 will be tweeted, blogged and thanked on Facebook
- Donations over $15 will receive the above but with a link to their website or blog included
- Donations over $20 will receive the above along with a personalised video thanking them for their generosity.
- Corporate donations are more than welcome and I am happy to promote your business’ generosity and will provide a ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ for your support ($20 minimum)
I cannot thank you enough for supporting me in this endeavour and please do not hesitate to contact me with any inquires.
=)
