Hello All
We have a great demand this year for our Civil rights, HBCU tour, we are trying something new this year, We currently have the attention of the Elementary school students, who now understand responsibility, with this in mind, I am trying to take ten elementary students. They have worked very hard to stay out of trouble, and they are now trying. I put this opportunity on the table with them early in the year, I had no idea they would work this hard to go.
That put me in a difficult position to come up with the funds to make this happen, These students do not have the funds, therefore, if you would be interested in sponsoring or co-sponsoring a student. please let me know, anything would be helpful.
-- The tour this year will be a collaboration with Waterloo school district , there will be 11 students and 3 chaperons from Waterloo West.
I Have attached an itinerary, so you can understand the awesome experience they will have.
- You will have an opportunity to read the experience from each student , when they return to Iowa City. Students are required to write a report.
Sponsorship is $250 each student.
Thanks for your support
