Marilena's Rotary Switzerland Student Exchange

$483 of $15,000 goal
Given by 6 generous donors in around 6 months

My name is Marilena, It has always been my goal to go on student exchange, and now that I have the opportunity, I'm going to go for it! :)

Auckland

I'm a 16 year old, year 12 at Lynfield College, and I am going to Switzerland on a student exchange trip in January 2016. I will go to school in Switzerland for one year.

I am going with Rotary International Youth Exchange program. Rotary is a not for profit volunteer organisation, the aim of Rotary is to bring good to people, it was founded in Chicago 1905. Around the world there are approximately 1.2 million Rotary members, located in 200 countries.

The funds that I will raise will go towards the costs of plane fares,my language camp, pre departure costs, and everyday living costs.

I have been working as much as I can, on top of school work, as my family is unable to afford all of the cost, and I am raising the money for this as much as I can by myself. I am trying to earn in every way I can, by fundraising, etc and any donation is hugely appreciated by both myself and the rest of my family.

This is honestly a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am trying my hardest to make it happen. Please help by sharing this link, or donating, every donation not matter how big or small helps me get one step closer achieving my goal, so thank you so much!
