Sponsors needed for Relief Trip to South Africa
My son is going on a six week relief trip to Cape Town South Africa to work with HIV/AIDS patients. He is looking for sponsors to help defray the cost. He is studying to be a primary care physician with the goal to do relief work for several years after graduation from medical school and then to bring the skills he will acquire to practice primary care medicine in the US. He is currently a senior and will soon complete his undergraduate degree in Biology.

The relief work will be performed in association with the organization, Cross Cultural Solutions.

Cross Cultural Solutions operates volunteer programs around the world in partnership with sustainable community initiatives, bringing people together to work side by side while sharing perspectives, and fostering cultural understanding. CCS is a recognized leader in the field of international volunteering, with over 4000 volunteers each year. Volunteers work side-by-side with local people on locally designed and driven initiatives. Programs range from 1 to 12 weeks, and volunteers work year round through out Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Russia. CCS in-country staff are always available to support the volunteers and to ensure that their work meets the needs of the Partner Program and the people they serve. Cross-Cultural Solutions is also in Consultative Status with the United Nations, partners with CARE, one of the worlds largest international humanitarian organizations, and is a member of the International Volunteer Programs Association. (IVPA).
They are a secular organization.

Donations in any amount, even one dollar, are 100% tax deductible to US residents. If you think you may be interesting in a sponsorship, please go to the link below and type in my son's last name: BARJAKTAROVICH
You will be immediately provided with charitable tax deduction documentation with your sponsorship by CCS.

Nick also asks that you leave some sort of contact information so that he can thank you personally and let you know how your kind contribution was put to good use upon his return.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION!!!

I'm glad to see he's interested in helping those who need it.
