Volunteer Fundraising & Mission Trips

HEY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!! I have the incredible opportunity to travel to Uganda, Africa, and volunteer with Watoto Ministries at the end of April until mid June! Watoto is a registered Canadian charity based in Uganda that cares for abandoned babies and orphaned children, and restores dignity to the vulnerable women in Africa.  Watoto cares for over 2500 orphans in Uganda, while working on numerous projects to ensure quality, holistic care for the children.  Their motto is Rescue (the orphans and widows), Raise (the future leaders), and Rebuild (rebuild the Ugandan nation). This will be an incredible experience in which I may be pushed out of my comfort zone and experience things I have never imagined. Your support through prayer or financially would be such a blessing as I prepare for and set off to Uganda.  My cost for this journey are roughly: $350USD per month for rent, approximately $1700-$2200CAD for the airfare, $150CAD application fee + $600USD facilitation fee.  These items qualify for a tax receipt if you choose to donate.  Your financial support of this mission would be much appreciated.   Thank you so much for your consideration.

This summer, my fellowship and I will be embarking on a short-term volunteer trip. Our team will be headed to China from July 12-26. This will be an opportunity for us to serve the community, and teach English to Chinese orphans. The destination we are headed to is near Beijing, China's capital. Beijing has a rich history, and like many urban areas, it has to deal with pollution, joblessness and poverty. Beijing has a significantly vast immigration population but with limited English abilities. During our trip, we are partnering up with an organization called Living Hope International. This organization was originally started to assist children; children who have either been abandoned or orphaned by their parents; children who do not qualify for adoption in their native country. Since its founding in 2005, Living Hope International has brought nearly 195 children under its wing. We are very fortunate to be partnering up with this fantastic organization and we hope that together, we can experience the feeling of changing a life. As our team prepares for our trip, I ask you all to pray for us. We don't know exactly what to expect so please pray that God equips us with the wisdom, energy, and perseverance to do what he asks us to. Pray that our team will learn to work well together and with Living Hope International as we will be serving with in Beijing. Along with all of your prayers, I would also like to ask if you would consider supporting me financially. Each member of our team has to raise $500 to pay for our trip. The money will go towards our food, accommodations and supplies for the 2 weeks we are staying there. If you would like to support me please donate. Any donation would be a great help! Thank you for your prayers and support! Yours Truly, Kevin Rao

As you may know, after Hurricane Maria, many communities in Puerto Rico are still lacking basic necessities of life. Necessities such as clean water, electricity and food. My school has teamed up with the local organizations in Puerto Rico that are helping distribute the goods people in these suffering communities need. Myself and a few other students have been elected to represent our school in this outreach program. It is my goal to raise $2,000 dollars in funding by February 28th to help cover the trip expenses, lodging and supplies. Any donations would be greatly appreciated! Por mi encanta!
