"Travel far enough, you meet yourself." — David Mitchell
This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your help to send 10 promising scholars from the DMV on their first life-changing journey to Dakar, Senegal.
For many, the biggest barrier to experiencing the world is the cost of flights. But with your support, Escape the Shape can break that barrier. This Giving Tuesday, your contribution will help us give these 10 teenagers the chance to:
- Network with international peers at the prestigious International School of Dakar.
- Engage in service learning projects with impactful local organizations.
- Learn basic French and Wolof through immersive real-life experiences.
- Discover rich cultural traditions that will expand their worldviews forever.
We need to raise $15,000 to cover the cost of flights and make this dream trip a reality.
GIVE... to provide 10 boys of color the chance to experience Africa for the first time.
GIVE... to help teens in the DMV break free from the limits of the Beltway.
GIVE... to empower our future leaders with the global insight and knowledge they need to solve local problems.
Every dollar brings us closer to achieving this goal. Together, we can make this transformational journey happen.
