Mission Trip to Rwanda!!!
Donation protected
I'm a Student from India, working on a Masters’ degree in Business Administration from Mercer University, Atlanta, GA, and I've been selected to go on Mercer University's Mercer on Mission trip to Rwanda during the Summer of 2015! The trip is for us students to have the opportunity to help widows and orphans of the 1994 genocide and fuel an entrepreneurship movement in their country using micro-financing. As a Business student I am thrilled to have the opportunity to view and explore firsthand how business can be used as a mission to help others.
Rwanda experienced incredible turmoil during the 1994 civil war and genocide, but has come out of it positively in a very short time. God has blessed the efforts of President Kagame for a 'Purpose Driven' Nation. As my parents are missionaries in North India, I grew up with a heart for missions and a desire to serve God using the talents that He has given me. This Mission trip is the perfect opportunity for me to use my knowledge and skills as a business student to help those who need it most, and give God all the glory while doing it! (To learn more about this mission: Rwanda Trip )
I’m trying to raise money to help fund this trip! I have set up a fundraising mission on GoEnnounce. The money raised through this fundraising mission will go towards funding all the expenses for my trip. As my parents are also involved in missions work, my financial situation is difficult and payments have been hard for me; so your generosity will be much appreciated! I need to raise $2500 for this trip, and this includes airfare and room and board while I’m in Rwanda. Although this is a large amount, it breaks down to 125 people committing to $20 each, or 50 people committing to $50 each, or 25 people committing to $100 each. So if you are able to help in any way, no matter how small, please do - your help is much appreciated!
Feel free to share this mission with others, and stop by my GoEnnounce Student Page as well!
