Help Me Get To Africa To Save The Wild Animals

$404 of $6,500 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in around 8 months

Please help my dreams come true and give a little so I can travel to South Africa to help save wild and endangered animals.

Bay of Plenty

Hi there, my name is Katie Scott. I am 18 years old, attending my last year at High School.

For as long as I can remember I have loved animals and have a passion for the environment. I want to ensure that no animals become extinct during my lifetime and that I can persuade people to look after endangered species and the environment for our future. I hope to work with wild animals when I leave School and in order to achieve this I plan to attend university next year to obtain a degree in Zoology or Vet Nursing.

To help me further achieve my goals and to obtain some work experience, I plan to travel to South Africa sometime in 2020 or early 2021 to volunteer on a big game reserve near Kruger National Park.

I entered a competition earlier in the year and won a small amount of funding towards my trip, however I need to raise at least $6500 to achieve my dream.

So far I have raised $4000 myself by running a bake sale, raffles and by receiving generous donations. I also work part time at a local restaurant on the weekends. I am seeking further donations from anyone willing to support my dreams.

Use of funds

Return airfares to South Africa from New Zealand. Transfers, Accommodation and Meals for three to four weeks to volunteer near Wildlife Park Kruger National Park Johannesburg. Funds raised over the amount required will be donated to the wildlife park.

Change of Dates  6 November 2019

Hello everyone!

Due to recent events we have decided to change the date for the volunteering trip till 2020/early 2021 as we still haven’t received sufficient funds to go. We also unfortunately found out the company we were planning to travel through was a scam which has required us to do more research to find a safe company to travel through. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, and sorry for any inconvenience!
