Hello!

My name is Mavzuna Sangova. I am from Kulob, which is located in the south of Tajikistan. I live in a small town far from the capital, but it has not stopped me. I am determined to see the world! I have been studying English since Elementary School where we learned the letters of the alphabet. Most of my friends still do not know any more than that, but with the help of my family, my teachers, and my friends I have learned so much more about English, and through English about the United States and the world. I am more than happy that I have been awarded a full scholarship to attend Camp Rising Sun, by the Louis August Jonas Foundation. I am really glad that such camps exist, which motivate youth to become creative and better educated. It would also be so exciting for me to meet my peers from English-speaking countries, improve my knowledge of the world and improve my leadership skills.

There are so many things I want to learn and so many things I want to see, and so many people I want to meet, but it is not possible without the help from others. My scholarship does not cover travel costs. Therefore, I would be thankful for your donation of any amount to cover my travel expenses. I just want to say thank you for even reading this and for helping me in whatever way you can. This opportunity would change my life forever and would mean so much to me.

Thank you again!
