Community & Environment Volunteering in Costa Rica

INTRODUCTION AND CAUSE

Hi, my name is Aaron and I've been given an amazing life changing opportunity to take part in an expedition to Costa Rica through the SES Raleigh Explorer Award this October, I will be taking part in Community & Environmental Projects over 10 weeks which will be aiming towards "Improve access to education in indigenous communities and support young people to develop the tools to prosper in later life."

WHAT IS THE IMPACT - https://raleighinternational.org/our-impact/

This is a great opportunity for myself and will also leave a lasting impact on the communities.

WHY AM I STARTING A GOFUNDME?

I'm starting a GoFundMe to help support in covering costs towards crucial kit, vaccinations & other expenses that are required before travel, I have been very fortunate to have been given this opportunity after finishing University this June, this however means I'm in a position where funding kit, vaccines and living expenses are difficult this is made extra difficult by being Estranged so any support is greatly appreciated, I have already self funded alot of my own kit and I am also currently looking for part time work to help fund items.

WHERE WILL THE FUNDS GO?

Any support such as donating or sharing this page is greatly appreciated and will help me alot. The kit list below is where donations will be spent as well as support with other costs that are required for me to be able to take part in the expediton.
