So here I go into the world of photo blogging! I've always loved photography but have recently taken my hobby to the next step because I'm in the process of raising money for a volunteer trip to Costa Rica that I will be embarking on in November. Thus far, I have raised $1,030 but STILL need to raise about $4,000 more! Through my photography, I am hoping to raise the rest of the funds that I will need.
Here's a little background on what I'll be doing and the organization that I'll be going to Costa Rica through, Cross Cultural Solutions. Cross Cultural Solutions (CCS) is a non-profit organization that operates volunteer programs in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe in partnership with sustainable community initiatives. Founded in 1995, its mission is to bring people together to work side-by-side while sharing perspectives and fostering cultural understanding. Although I haven't been told EXACTLY what I'll be doing in Cartago, Costa Rica, I have been told that I will most likely be working in a daycare and/or orphanage because of my background in education (early childhood, elementary, and literacy). Needless to say, I'm super excited to fulfill this lifelong goal of mine & be a part of an organization like CCS.
I'm trying to branch out and make as many contacts as possible through my blog as well as keep everybody updated on my journey to Costa Rica & my photography so please check back often and stop by my photograph page on Facebook! :)
