Help a visually impaired student raise funds to attend Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students 2019

Auckland

Hi. my name is Samuel. I am a 16 year old visually impaired student and I would like to attend SCIVIS 2019 (Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students)

SCIVIS is held every year at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama in the United States, and is a specialised version of their Space Camp that is aimed towards students such as my self who are visually impaired. Students attend from all over the world with a wide range of eye conditions, such as being very short sighted, or in many cases completely blind. I myself am very short sighted.

This year there are a few people that I know of who will be attending from New Zealand, I would like to join them in representing New Zealand. I would be participating in the Aviation Challenge MACH III

The main things that the funds raised will go towards will be covering the cost of flying from Auckland to Huntsville (NZD $2,500) and the cost of attending the camp itself (NZD $1,500) . The rest of the money will go towards fees such as health insurance; Visa application and local transport.

Use of funds

- Flights

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
