How YOU can get me to Africa:
March 3rd, 2010 § Leave a Comment
As some of you know, I am planning on traveling to Burkina Faso, Africa this summer (June 17-28) for a missions trip. Because it’s Africa and on a whole other continent, it’s going to cost quite a bit to get there, which is where YOU come into play.
The total cost of the trip is $2700 (yikes!) not including shots and all that entails entering a country such as Burkina. So, you might be asking, “Well, Hailey, that’s cool, but what do I have to do with this?” Great question! You have EVERYTHING to do with this. I am raising the money (yes, all 3 Gs of it) because I have no other way to get there. My idea of how you can help? A couple of ways:
1.Photography: As some of you may have noticed, I mess around with photography and art. (go check out some of my albums to check out my art) I will be offering my services in exchange for donations that will go 100% to my trip. I’m not setting a fixed price, because I feel it’s however you want contribute to my traveling. If you feel comfortable about it, you can even talk to your parents about sponsoring my trip/contributing (tell them it’s a charitable contribution, TAX deductible–I can give you details on that–and it’s for an excellent cause!)
I can shoot your senior portraits, couples, friends..whatever you want! I’m up for whatever venue you want, however you want to shoot, how many wardrobe changes you want to make, however long you want to “hire” me for, and whatever style of shoot you want to do..basically, I’m all yours if you’re wanting to help me out 
2.ART: Some of you may have seen a bit of my portfolio or pieces of drawings.. I’m willing to be commissioned if you want a painting, drawing, etc.. just know that this takes me longer so: a)it might be longer to get to you and b)think about how much you want to donate for my time (and the cause,of course!)
3. Donate from the goodness of your heart!: Not photogenic (you think!) but have a heart for Africa and my trip? You can donate without making me give you something in return (but don’t get me wrong, I’m willing to work!!)
Please message me or talk to me if you’re interested in any way. I have details about the trip, how you can donate and get tax deductibles for it, or scheduling shoots. I really appreciate your efforts in getting me to a country that is in need of love! Well, I think that’s all.. you guys are great!
Much Love!
Hailey
