A month ago I was able to attend a meeting sponsored by the International Language Program (ILP) talking to college students about spending a semester teaching English to low class children in other countries. I was very excited to hear about the chance I could have to serve! Well, about three weeks later I got a call from ILP asking me if I would be willing to move to Russia to be a teacher because they were short enough people to go. So I am now very excited to say I will be moving to Russia in January with my roommate, Rauni Bradshaw, to teach English!! I will be living there from end of January to beginning of June! I will teach half a day, every day. I am VERY excited for this opportunity to serve, for the life lessons I will learn and experiences I will have.
However, because it is a Non Profit organization, I will have to pay my own way and I am currently in the process of fundraising for this. I am writing to you to see if you would like to take this opportunity to donate any amount that you feel you would like to share in helping me provide this opportunity to these children. If you would like to donate, I have added a PayPal Donation widget located on the right side of my blog or if you would rather send a check, leave a comment and I will send my address to you via email. Any donation you can make will be Very Much so appreciated!
For all those who donate or would like to follow me through this wonderful experience I'm about to embark on, I will be posting updates and pictures as regularly as possible and would be flattered if you fallowed me!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for your help! I couldn't do it without you!
