Harbor to Havana
The chance to pursue a research project can be life-changing and career-changing.
The hardworking senior students of Marine Bio at the New York Harbor School https://harborseals.org/harbor-to-havana-2023/ deserve that chance! We are the only high school in NYC with a marine curriculum and our school is 70% minority students. (Many of our kids have never been further than New York, so a trip like this will be full of new horizons.)
We are raising funds to send students with teacher Mauricio Gonzalez for a 9-day trip to Cuba, where they will work with professors at the University of Havana in and around the famous water wilderness of Jardines del Reina, doing hands-on field research, staying in casa particulares (B&Bs), eating in paladares (home restos), hiking miles for their experiments. This is a no-frills, serious field expedition on a razor budget. The passionately dedicated students are themselves raising several thousand working week-after-week selling cookies and T-shirts! Your donation will make a major impact as we need to raise enough so every child, regardless of means, can go. Our goal is $17,000 by May 1, 2023 and this GO FUND ME has to bring in $6-10,000 of that. The PTA is a 501 C3, EIN 27-1178829, so all donations are fully tax-deductible. Moreover, YOUR contribution will create a smile an ocean wide! Please help this dream happen.
