Hi! My name is Emily, I am currently a freshman at Temple University. I am majoring in Early Childhood Education and hope to teach here in Philadelphia one day. 

Recently, I have had the amazing opportunity through Athletes InterVarsity and Child Voice, a Christian non-profit seeking to restore the voices of children and communities silenced by war, to travel to Uganda for a missions trip with my close friend. I will spend the first two weeks of June building relationships with women currently enrolled at the ChildVoice re-assimilation center, as well as visit the oldest Arabian Slave trading outposts which lead into Africa. This is something that I have been praying a lot about, and I believe that God is calling me to be a part of it.

With the deadline being so soon for money, it is difficult for me to raise such a high amount so quickly. I am saving every penny I get for this trip, but it won't be nearly enough in time. This trip is a leap of faith in God, and I trust he will provide. Any donation of any kind is greatly appreciated and will be going to an amazing cause. 

Thank you, and help spread the word!
