Donate to help make my volunteer trip possible

Hi, my name is Zac Garza and I am fundraising to be able to volunteer in Tanzania with my friend Olivia. We will be volunteering in Tanzania with Growth International Volunteer Excursions (GIVE). I am excited about the opportunity to give back to the world through GIVE. I am also looking forward to making a difference in my life as well as the lives of others. Helping people in a way that has a major positive impact on their lives and the lives of those around them has just always been something I have considered important. I want to be able to go on this volunteer trip and be that change that I consider important. I also want to be able to immerse myself and open my eyes to the different cultures of the world and meet lots of new people and form connections through travel and a common interest in helping others. This trip, which will be the first of hopefully many, will help me in taking those first few steps into getting out there and seeing what I can really do to help people. I will be directly involved in building eco-friendly infrastructure out of recycled materials, teaching English and tutoring children, protecting endangered sea turtles, and organizing extracurricular activities for children. GIVE continues to remain involved in these communities after volunteers like me have left Tanzania. GIVE works within these communities year-round to provide opportunities for sustainable development by funding teachers to work in secondary schools and funding doctors to provide medical care in these communities. I would greatly appreciate a donation to help me serve others abroad. Your contribution will go directly to the cost for me to volunteer. Your donation will help pay for my accommodations, food, in-country travel, materials, and costs associated with the volunteer projects.
