So far...

I'me a Portuguese 25 year old (almost 26), graduate girl (economics, wanting to go around the world as a volunteer. All I need is 10.000 Euros, to pay the fee (trips and acomodations) for 200 days volunteer program.
I just finished my Master, and I am working in a major Company here in Portugal.
But, I'm not happy with my life.
There are so many terrible things happening in the world, that I want to go out there and help other people, give hugs and smiles to the less lucky, and try to help them in some kind of way.

What do I need?
I will go on volunteering for 200 days, with a Non Governmental Agency, and it will cost me 10.000 euros.
I dont want any big donations, thats not the purpose of my trip.

I just want 1(one) euro from 10.000 persons, and that will pay the whole PEACE TRIP.
But, in order to that, I will need visitors to my site, and I will need them to donate me 1(one euro). It's as simple as that.

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE 2159€, GIVEN BY 2159 DIFFERENT PERSONS, WICH IS AMAZING.
SO, I'ME JUST LACKING  7841€.

PLEASE, HELP ME WITH YOUR (ONE) EURO, AND BRING OTHER FRIENDS TO HELP ME TOO! I WILL BE GRATEFULL FOR LIFE!

All I'm asking is for the kindness of 7.841 persons, who can give me 1 euro or 1 dollar to help me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! :)

Tanzania

Many international travelers visit Tanzania for Mount Kilimanjaro, the Ngorongoro Crater, or for safaris through the many national parks. Foreign influences, dating back to the eighth century, introduced trading of slaves and other commodities throughout Tanzania, and some of these influences continue to affect Tanzania today. Previously known as Tanganyika, Tanzania gained its independence from Great Britain in 1961. In 1964, Tanganyika and the island of Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania.

Regardless of their relatively new independence and past struggles with colonialism, Tanzanian people have immense pride in their country’s history and its many religions, languages, and cultures. Deep respect for elders, compassion for the ill, and prolonged greetings are only a few characteristics of the culture of Tanzania. These characteristics — along with a strong work ethic, peace-keeping attitude, a genuine joy of life, and a desire to learn.
