Liv and Sawyer's Trip to Thailand
Donation protected
Hey everyone! It's Liv and Sawyer and we are raising money to fund a trip to Thailand for this summer (2016). The trip would be through the Loop Abroad program, and has a 15 day itinerary.
The reason for us making this GoFundMe page is that the cost of our trip is a little pricy. Individually it would cost a little over $5,000 each for us to go ($3,450 USD plus $1,895 USD for international airfare). Over the course of the next few months, we will both be working hard to make money with our jobs and different fundraisers, such as this one. Every donation counts and we would really appreciate it! Whatever proceeds that we receive off of this page will be split between us and put towards our trip. Please help us make this unbelievable experience possible! The paragraph below tells you a little bit about what we would be doing during the 15 days.
For the first week, we would be living at the Elephant Nature park volunteering. During this week, we will feed, bathe, and take care of elephants. We will also have the opportunities to volunteer with the puppies at the dog shelter on the property, visit an elementary school near the park, help with all sorts of farm chores, have a Thai lesson, go tubing in the river, and meet with Lek Chailert, the world-renowned conservationist and founder of the Elephant Nature Park. The next week, we would move into the city of Chiang Mai where we spend the next few days filled with a multitude of cultural and adventurous activities, such as planting rice in a local village, visiting a butterfly sanctuary, hiking to the top of DOI Suthep mountain, exploring the temples of Chiang Mai, meditating with Buddhists and learning about the religion, zip lining through Thailand’s longest zip line course, and so much more!
