Hello! Hallo! Bonjour! Hola! Ciao! 您好！Привіт! Olá! 안녕하세요! Hej!
This summer I'm excited to participate in a life-changing program with Student Action with Farmworkers!
Every year SAF coordinates a ten-week summer internship and leadership development program that creates opportunities for college students to work in migrant education programs, rural health clinics, legal aid organizations, adult education programs, and with community and labor organizing groups in the Southeast.
As a student I want to devote my time and energy to improving the lives of those who bring food to our tables. I am relying on the generosity of congregations, academic departments, small businesses and individuals for financial support to make my participation in this internship possible.
SAF provides interns with 3 trainings, a per diem, housing and an academic scholarship. I am required to raise a minimum of $650 to help defray these costs. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to support our work with farmworkers.
Below is the link to the donation page where you can make a contribution online. You may also mail a check to SAF (memo: Diego Lopez), 1317 W. Pettigrew St., Durham, NC 27705. Thank you for your support!
