My name is Crystal and I am a sophomore at Georgia
Gwinnett College. I am on the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA and currently
majoring in Business Administration. I am often asked this question: When you
think “business” what do you think of? My
answer is service. How can I give back to the world? My goal is to become an
entrepreneur and open many businesses. One in particular is a nonprofit
organization that will allow me to assist less fortunate children in many
aspects of their lives. I want to increase their quality of life.
I was given the great opportunity through Georgia
Gwinnett College to participate in a Global Civic Engagement Program in
Ecuador, South America, March 9th- 17th 2013. In
Ecuador I will participate in reforestation programs, plan activities for
homeless youth, and partner up with Ecuador’s universities to assist with additional
service learning projects.
The Service Learning Trip to Ecuador will
allow me to make a difference in individuals’ lives. As I am making a
difference in the lives of others, I am also making a difference in my own
life, enhancing my personal development and growth. Not only will this trip
allow me to grasp the complexity of international issues but it will increase
my knowledge of the process of making the world a more equitable and
sustainable place.
I am asking for monetary contributions that will
help me to participate in this program. Any amount that you can contribute would be
greatly appreciated. The cost of the trip is $1,600. This will cover: program
fees, plane tickets, housing fees and meals. January 10, 2013 is the first
deadline in the amount of $700. The full amount has to be paid by February 5,
2013. With the help and generosity of people and organizations like yours I can
continue to impact others in a positive way. I thank you in advance for your time, cooperation
and generosity.
Life is most significant to me when I am impacting the
lives of others.
Thank you in advance for your contribution!
Sincerely,
Crystal Thompson
