A group has donated funds for me to travel to India to volunteer. All the details of the trip are still being figured out but I will keep everyone updated!
I would also be very thankful if you could make a donation to my travel cause, a little can go a long way.
You can donate by going to my tumblr, it can be found by typing in humanitariansconnect on the tumblr site.
I promise to keep everyone posted as more details get figured out!
