“No matter how much planning you do, you’re simply going to have to dive in, head first, and take the experience as it comes. Remember to bring pictures of your friends and family, of important events—graduation, parties, etc.—from home so that the people you meet and the friends you make abroad can know your story as well.”

Meet the Fundraiser: Renee S.
I wrote various companies with questions about the program and AmeriSpan gave the best responses and took the time to answer every question.
Meet the Fundraiser: Lucie C.
I didn’t want to be pushy but I did want them to be able to donate if they wanted to, so I just told them what I was doing and then said, “If you want to help me…” When people donate, I send them a handmade thank-you card.
