Hello friends of MIH:
For those who don’t know me, I went on a MIH trip January 2015 of my senior year and loved giving back to a community who needed our help. I now have the opportunity to provide help to a community in need in a different way. In fall 2022, I’ll be going on a trip with Global Autism Project.
Global Autism Project is an organization that partners with autism centers around the world to help children access services they need. They provide funding and supplies to keep centers open, but more importantly provide ongoing training to staff so that they can run the centers on their own! Making sure that the work is sustainable when volunteers aren’t there is a huge part of their mission. I’m going to (hopefully) Ecuador with them in fall 2022 to help train staff at a partner site!
I’ll be there for 2 weeks. Any donations I receive go towards GAP and funding partner sites. This helps with supplies, ongoing trainings, autism summits, autism education, etc. It also goes towards helping fund new partner sites in new locations! Community autism education and funding new partner sites is especially important, because unfortunately there is still a negative stigma surrounding autism in many other countries and services can be hard to come by. The more partner sites GAP can assist, the more children who receive the education the need, and the more autism acceptance we can see around the world.
My fundraising page has more information about my trip and I am also happy to answer any questions if you have them 🙂 Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing my fundraising page with others would be extremely helpful and much appreciated!
