Ecuador Mission Trip

For as long as I can remember I've dreamt of traveling to provide aid to impoverished communities. As a dance teacher and aspiring doctor, I hope to combine my love for children and determination to help others on a mission trip this August 2019 to Quito, Ecuador.  The trip entails a week of working directly with disadvantaged children providing essential care and support in a range of environments including community centers, day care centers, after school programs, and feeding programs. The objective of this  trip is to provide support to under-privileged children, while fostering a two-way cultural exchange between international volunteers and children. Because I am  a strong believer in empowering and lifting others up, I took on 3 jobs as a full-time student in order to make this trip a possibility. However, any help would mean the world to me! All the donations will go towards trip costs including air fare and a program fee. Any money left over will be donated directly to the community serviced on this trip. I want to extend a huge "thank you" in advance (along with a virtual hug) to all who donate, share, or even take the time to read!
