Help us to get Amber to her high school cultural language Japan experience

Nationwide

Our daughter Amber has been given a once in a life time opportunity to tour Japan in September this year.

The tour is an 18 day high school cultural & immersion language experience with ~24 other students & teachers. The tour will be a balanced mix of experiencing living a Japanese host family, attending a high school and travelling to 4 or 5 cities through Japan with her peers and teachers. As well as going to Tokyo Disneyland, wow I'm so envious 💚

Amber has been a dedicated Japanese language and cultural student for 3 years now, since starting high school. And plans to continue her studies through her remaining high school years.

Thanks to the help of Mum & Dad and close family, the first 2 installments already paid, leaving 2 more installments are to be paid;

$2000 by March 15th and the balance by June (estimated final payment is subject to change, but estimated at $1300).

However, Amber also needs to pay for her lunches & dinners (when not with her host family), sightseeing & gifts & souvenirs etc.

Nobody likes asking for money, but if you can spare a few dollars that would be extremely appreciated.

Amber & I (mum) are also doing a virtual Walk/run challenge through Conqueror virtual challenges, as part of a Mum-Daughter bonding experience. We are yet to choose a challenge, but will let you know as soon as we decide and will post updates here on our fundraising & Amber's journey to Japan.
