    South African Children Deserve An Education

    How a teen plans to help

    Hello, my name is Lauren Jablonski and I am a high school senior. After completing high school, I will be attending Michigan State University as an Elementary Education major.

    In the Spring of 2016, I plan to embark on a two week mission trip to a small town near Cape Town, South Africa. The small community is overflowing with potentials learners and has become very welcoming to global volunteers. While volunteering, I will be teaching an array of subjects and English to elementary students.

    In order to become involved with the program, I need about $800 to cover program fees alone. As a teenager, it will be difficult for myself alone to earn this money.

    Therefore, I am requesting the help of any generous people who would like to assist in providing an education to children who need a chance at life the most. If you are able to spare even the smallest donation, I would be more than grateful.
