This year I told myself that while taking a break before venturing off to law school, I wanted to take a trip that would allow me to touch someone’s life in a positive way while at the same time make a lasting memory for myself.I found the perfect opportunity to do so through a building trip in Cost Rica through TECHO. Volunteers from across the nation will be traveling this July 2015 to build transitional houses for those families living in extreme poverty, in Costa Rica. My vision is to see a world where everyone’s basic necessities are met. Im aware it won’t happen over night, but I want to start making make a difference and this building trip will allow me to feel a sense of accomplishment and purpose in my life. I’m enthusiastic and willing to make this trip happen and it is with this purpose that I ask for your support and contribution. Not only will you be helping me reach my goal but you will be part of the movement to alleviate poverty and make a difference in the world. THANK YOU, Beatriz Albisu TECHO is a nonprofit organization that mobilizes youth volunteers to fight extreme poverty in Latin America, by constructing transitional housing and implementing social inclusion programs.
