Counting Change

Taking on an adventure such as this trip to Cambodia quite understandably comes with a rather large price tag, which is why I'm asking sponsors to help me try to make an impact in children's lives. I will keep tabs through this blog on how the cost will be applied, a running count of how much has been raised, as well as the sponsors who have decided to help.

Currently, the total amount left to raise is: $5,100

1) EDventure Tuition- $3100
2) Flights- about $1800 now (liable to change)
3) Traveler's Insurance- $200

If you or your organization would like to become a sponsor, you can either mail me a check, or if you would prefer to send a direct payment to EDventure International you can email me at mikaylapreston@gmail.com so that I can give you the proper steps to follow.

Thank you so much for your sponsorship and invested interest in changing young lives.

EDventure Information

The group I look forward to being a part of is called EDventure International. This is an organization founded with the aim to connect cultures through volunteer work facilitated by the world's young adults. They follow the creed that "Not all those who wander are lost" introduced by J.R.R. Tolkien in his poem 'All that is gold does not glitter'. To learn more about what they're up to, who they are, or how to get involved follow the link below.

Getting Started

    The question may come up, what's this girl doing on the web? Aside from a small internet addiction, I'm interested in making a difference in the world with the help of social connections and ever-changing technology. In May of 2014 I hope to embark on a 3 week journey to the heart of Cambodia to do humanitarian work in a country still recovering from the lasting effects of genocide its people faced. Myself and other members of my group will spend time in local orphanages and schools, teaching English and just being an exotic friend to many children who have lost their families. An experience which I hope will teach me just as much as I will teach others. 
    This blog will serve to be my connection to all those who want to help me help others. It will be a way to show how far this journey really takes me, through photos and commentary. So, if you're a potential sponsor, check back here often for updates on how fundraising is going, as well as to learn along with me about the beautiful country of Cambodia.
