Help Me Go to Cambodia to Study Sex Trafficking!
 

Hey everyone!

I have been presented with the opportunity to travel to Cambodia to study and work with victims of human trafficking. The trip is worth three credit hours to my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling, and it would be an AMAZING opportunity for me to refine my skills in multiculturalism, therapy with trauma victims, and on the issue of human trafficking itself.

I have never been outside of the United States, and I would be so humbled by the opportunity to travel overseas and be able to put my skills to use in such a giving way.

Here is some information about the organization I would be working with: www.destinyrescue.org/us.

Obviously, this opportunity comes with a cost. The total estimated cost of the trip is around $4,000. My university is offering a $1,000 scholarship to those who are able to go on the trip, and I plan on saving back some extra money I have from my work-study job. If needed, I will also take out a student loan. Even with all of these resources, the price range is still outside of my comfortable affordability. So I am turning to my family and friends, including my beloved UG friends, to help me out. Any donation would be GREATLY appreciated! Every little bit counts, and it all adds up! It would go toward helping me grow into the wordly, cultured person that I want to be, become an understanding and effective counselor in the future, and helping victims of human trafficking in these areas.

You would have my never-ending gratitude for any contribution you could make.

Here is the website where you can make your contribution:

Thank you for your support,

Dosed. (aka, Kayla)

PS- If you make a donation and do not wish to remain anonymous, please send me either your mailing address or email address in the comment section so that I may send you a personalized thank you.

For a second I thought you were Gary Glitter.

I would give you money, but it's your money too.

So like...your title made me think you were an aspiring sex trafficker.


I'm really happy I'm wrong :haha:. I may be able to throw a few bucks your way, lemme see how my pay day looks.

I would donate money but I don't have any. :(

Typical US volunteering organisation- they're absolutely fleecing you on the cost of the trip.

Even with the $1000 scholarship taken off, $3000 is incredibly steep considering you can stay in a more than decent hotel for about $2 a night and eat for about the same.

Plus, this is scary:

"Destiny Rescue however, is a Christian organisation so does promote Christian values but present our faith as a lifestyle of action and compassion rather than just a belief. Yes the children are given opportunity to become Christians but neither the children nor their families are under any compulsion to become Christians."

Sorry, I don't have any money to donate. :( :(

This :haha:

You sound a little too excited about this. I don't know, that OP felt a bit too opportunistic :haha:


Sorry though, I haven't got any cash at all.

yeah, about the whole Christian thing--

My group is not having a part in that at all. We are a state university, and we won't be involved in any of that stuff.

Also, keep in mind it's paying for the flight and my credit hours for the university as well.

So apparently someone donated $200 and this was Kayla's response: "Oh my god! I feel like Walt Jr.!"

You could always raise the money by whoring yourself out to greasy old men if the whole "solicit money from 13 year olds on a guitar forum" thing doesn't pan out.

:idea: Whore out the 13 year olds to Gary Glitter!!!!!!

I'm giving 10 bucks just for that awesome BrBa reference.

tbh not scary at all

+1 :haha:

That is so ca$h.

I'm not doing too well with money right now but I'll see if I can contribute soon. You have to visit me too ok? I'm just a $79 flight away :)
