My Fundraising Story - Isa Baza

Hey everyone!

I am fundraising for a month-long trip to Hangzhou, China this summer where I will be earning academic credit while studying Mandarin Chinese, as well as gaining valuable work experience by working at the Hangzhou International Network on Small Hydro Power, a project sponsored by the United Nations International Development Program (UNIDO).  I will have the title of “Program Officer - Member Services & Information” and will be responsible for developing new members for the International Network on Small Hydro Power (IN-SHP) and publishing newsletters.

Going to Hangzhou this summer will be an excellent opportunity to improve my language skills and immerse myself in the Chinese culture.  I will also gain crucial work experience in the area of international development and sustainability – an area I am interested in pursuing after graduation. 

I really appreciate any and all donations (no matter how small) and promise to work hard to make the best of this experience!  Si yu’us ma’ase!
