Support Jed to get to Sweden for a life changing 5 month high school exchange. Thanks for your support.

Canterbury

Hi I am Jed Atkinson. I am 15 and going on a student exchange in August to Sweden for 5 months.

Your donation will massively benefit me by helping me go on this Exchange.:

It will be an amazing life experience that won't just be when I am there but it will also benefit me later in life.

It will help me grow socially, I will be thrown in unfamiliar territory with people that speak another language and will need to get on with making friends and learning.

I haven't done any overseas travel so this will be a great way to start and learn not only more about Sweden but also how New Zealand differs from other cultures. I am also looking forward to being an ambassador for New Zealand while in Sweden.

Money wise I am currently looking for every opportunity to earn money in fundraising (selling lollies and chocolate) and I have also recently got a casual part job after a lot of searching and determination but this is still only getting me training wage. (Because I'm still 15 a lot of businesses only take on 16 years and older)

I have been gaining money every way I can and am very much looking forward to this amazing experience. Thank you for your time

Karin is my mum and is really keen to help me realise my dream to experience another culture and push my boundaries.

Use of funds

Help pay for my student exchange fee from STS of 12,500 + other costs associated to getting their. If I was to exceed the price of the fees I would give the reaming amount to the Rangiora scout group.

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.
