INTRODUCTION

Thank you for visiting my blog. At this site I will give information about my study abroad visit to Chile, update posts while I'm there, and allow visitors to my blog to contribute to my fundraising efforts.

FACTS

WHEN & WHERE?

I will be living with a family and going to school in Chile from July 2009 through January 2010 (more details on my host family are coming soon).

ORGANIZATION?

I am going through the oldest and most respected study abroad program called AFS Intercultural Programs. AFS is a worldwide nonprofit organization that has been a leader in high school exchange for 60 years. For more information on AFS visit: http://www.usa.afs.org/usa_en/home

FUNDRAISING?

All AFS participants are expected to raise money for their trip. The average cost for the 6-month program is $8500. In addition to donations I will be holding a garage sale on June 13th. If you have any items you can contribute please contact me and I'll pick them up.
