Send Jazelynn to Senegal

Donation protected
Greetings, 
My name is Jazelynn Goudy. I am finishing my first year of graduate school at The Ohio State University where I am in the pursuit of obtaining an MFA in dance. This summer I have the wonderful opportunity to attend Ecole des Sables 6 week summer intensive entitled Black Noir 2 in Toubab Dialo, Senegal (West Africa). There I will be in an environment where I can dive deep and center myself with my craft. There are several classes that teach traditional and contemporary African dance. 

The Ecole des Sables, an international center for training and creation in traditional and contemporary dances in Africa, is both a theoretical and practical school, a research laboratory, and a place for meetings and exchanges, Conferences and art residencies. Below is a video of the facilities.

Attending this will mean the world to me. All that I do with and around dance I give it back. Whether it be in my dancing, mentorship, teaching, etc. It's my duty to share the wonderful experience with anyone willing to listen. 
I'm asking you all to help me with the cost of this intensive. To attend it cost 2160 euro (~2400 USD). Food, classes, housing, and other things included. Air Fare runs betweem $1500 USD. The total is roughly$4000. If  I'm unable to reach the amount stated, I would have to get a loan. And that is something I want to pull as the last resort.  If you could support me, financially or by sharing anything you can give will be much appreciated.
Please help me advance my studies and artistry with a dance intensive of a lifetime.
