I am sure the people who know me the best can confirm that my calling in life is to help and serve. Up until recently I didn’t know how to fulfill that calling. However, after taking an intro to social work class in college, I quickly realized that social work could be a field where I would be able to help and serve. During my second semester of freshman year, I applied and was accepted to the social work program and therefore started receiving emails about potential internships and other volunteer opportunities. Many of these emails quickly made their way to the trash, until I received and email about something called “backpacktivism.” Reading deeper into the email, I realized that the two main points of the organization were two things that I am deeply passionate about: backpacking and helping.
This organization is called Operation Groundswell and has many different programs with different themes and locations. After looking at all of the programs, the one that caught my eye the most was about animal conservation in Southeast Asia. While on this 40 day experience, some of the main things we will be doing are volunteering at an elephant sanctuary in Cambodia and working with another nonprofit in Cambodia to educate the surrounding communities about sustainable farming techniques.
Now that you know the backstory, I should probably get into why I am writing this letter to you. While the program has its own expenses, I also need to provide $720 for a community contribution. This money does not go towards paying for my trip, but instead goes directly to the organizations to which we will be working alongside. With all of that being said, I would love for you to donate funds for this community contribution, but if you also feel called to support my mission directly, that would be greatly appreciated as well.
