Help me travel to Spain, Italy and France!
Donation protected

Hello, my name is Cleome Bianga. I am 15 years old and am a sophomore at Taos High School in Taos, New Mexico. Because of the quarantine, this year has been my first year of High school in person. In late September, my friend and I joined Taos youth travel club. When my friend first told me about this club, I thought it was too good to be true. Travel as always been a dream of mine, and the pandemic has made me realize that life can change in the blink of an eye. If I want to see to world, I need to start as soon as I can. Through Taos Youth Travel Club, I have the opportunity to travel to France, Italy, and Spain for two weeks this June. To be able to go on this educational trip, I need to raise over $6,000. I have raised around $1000 already by hosting bake sales and working as a counselor at a kids circus camp and my family has contributed money too. I also qualified for a $1,000 scholarship! I need $3,000 more dollars to be able to go to Europe with the Taos Travel Club. This trip would change my life and I'm extremely grateful for any help!
Here's some details on the trip:
- I will be traveling with chaperons from Taos High School along with students from other schools in Taos.
- We will be visiting different historical and educational sites daily.
- The trip leaves on June 13th.
- The Taos Youth Travel Club leader, Dr. T, has been taking students on trips all over the world for 15 years.
