I will be volunteering with an Organization called Orphanage Outreach where I will work with orphans in Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic with a team of 10 other Northeastern students. Part of my responsibility as a member is to now fundraise to cover my expenses; travel, lodging, food, supplies, and program fees. http://www.orphanage-outreach.org/ Through my participation in this trip, I will learn not only about the historical, cultural, social, political, and economic aspects affecting Monte Cristi, but I will also learn more about myself and develop my leadership and communication skills. This opportunity will truly enrich my experience as a Psychology major, and it will assist me in building lasting relationships with community members, program directors, and others who are also passionate about child welfare. Please join me in this adventure–in my efforts to make a difference by sponsoring me and donating to my Alternative Spring Break trip. If you would like to make a donation to help me make this a reality, my mailing address is below. I thank you for your love and support, and look forward to sharing my stories and photographs with you. Sincerely, Anastasia Kanistras Donations should be sent to: Anastasia Kanistras 1404 Commonwealth Ave. apt. # 10 Brighton MA, 02135 Close
