Visa Documents/ Fundraisers

 I recieved an email yesterday telling me that the visa documents are being sent to me. This means I can really start getting the visa appointment going. I also have been planning more into fundraising and reaching my goal. I still need to raise $5,722. Considering my original tuition of $13,000, I would definitely say that my goal is reachable. Please consider making a donation to my "Sponsor an AFSer" widget on the right hand side of my blog. The money goes directly into my AFS tuition. Also, spreading the word about my cause and my blog is highly appreciated. the URL to my blog is http://www.shantefencl.blogspot.com/  and you can also follow my blog for updates. If you know me in my town, I am willing to do any summer yard work, or babysitting to help pay for my tuition. Any "odd job" that you need help with is fine by me :) Just leave a comment on this post, or email me at shantefencl@yahoo.com. The AFS program is a huge part of my life, and I would love to bring back the Italian culture to our community by going on my exchange. This program not only benefits the life of the exchange student, but also the enitre community in both the student's home and host country. Thank you again for all your support!
