Jaclyn Turville's Fundraiser:
Lend a Helping Hand to Namibia -
BENEFITING:
EVENT DATE: Aug 26, 2013
THE STORY:
My name is Jaclyn Turville and I am a 20-year old from Canada, and I am raising money to volunteer at the N/a'an ku sê Foundation in Namibia. While there, I will be aiding in both the wildlife conservation program as well as in the Foundation's preschool program. I am passionate about working with children and animals because they do not have a voice and need someone to help meet their needs. I am NOT Dr. Doolittle, and cannot speak cheetah, but I do plan on helping as much as I can.
Your generous support will be used to offset the fees charged by the foundation and expenses involved with this volunteer opportunity.
