Help Send Justice to Up With People

Hello, my name is Justice Ries. This fall I was accepted into the Up Wtih People Program for the July 2018 Tour! I have always wanted to do something this big and the fact that this program gives me the oppertunity to travel the world and participate in theatre (which I am very passionate about) makes me very exited that they chose me out of a large pool of candidates! Up with People is a global education organization which aims to bring the world together through service and music. They have a unique combination of international travel, service, learning, leadership development and performing arts and they offer students an unparalleled experience and a pathway to make a difference in the world, one community at a time. They travel across the globe to different communities and spread this message of unity. While I would be abroad I would be helping communities by teaching them about my own culture in America, and I would volunteer by doing various jobs and learning about other cultures from all walks of life! After spending about a week in one location, we would preform a show for the whole comunity. This show involves singing and dancing (a few of my passions) and involvment of the whole audience! The money I am asking for will provide food, boarding, travel and training for the program. I will be abroad 6 months and will get the oppertunity to travel where many my age would only be able to dream of. I have around 2 years to fundraise the money and donations of any amount would mean the world to me. I never would of thought in a million years thay this program would knock on my door. I have overcome many personal obsticles in life and this makes me feel like every piece of my hardship is paying off! I would be in deepest thanks if you would help me live this dream! Feel free to contact me and ask questions! Thanks so much for your time and attention! -Justice Ries
