Hey all.  I finally got my donation info for my New Zealand trip.  If anyone at all back home would like to help me out at all, print out the letter and form below and pass it around to whoever you think would be interested.  If they are, have them make a check out to International Student Volunteers, Inc. or ISV (do not include my name on the check), have them fill out the left half of the form below, and mail the check and form to me.

To any of you who take it upon yourselves to do this for me, thank you so, so much.  This whole trip is going to cost me close to $4000 total and it won't happen without your help.

Dear Potential Sponsor,

I have been selected to represent the United States in a student volunteer work program this summer, along with hundreds of other students from universities throughout North America and Europe.

I am committed to a minimum of 120 hours of volunteer work in an environmental conservation project in New Zealand.

Students from universities across the nation will travel to their host countries and then divide into smaller volunteer work groups. Every volunteer project is coordinated and supervised by a host organization (governmental or non-governmental) in the country where we will be working.  International Student Volunteers, Inc. coordinates this student volunteer work program (www.isvonline.com).

I will be working in a conservation program in New Zealand. This experience will broaden my awareness of environmental issues and give me hands-on, practical experience in conservation work. Our team will be dedicated to working in areas such as endangered species preservation and habitat restoration while we receive valuable education in sustainable management of resources and responsible use of the natural environment.

I am seeking contributions to International Student Volunteers, Inc. to help cover the expense of this program for a single student.  There are several ways to contribute:  (1) By sponsoring participation with a gift (not tax-deductible) or (2) by sending a donation for $120.00 ($1.00 for every volunteer hour worked) or (3) by sending any donation amount to support ISV Programs (tax deductible). All contributions to ISV are tax deductible within the limits of the law for contributors who file taxes in the United States. Donations must be received by May 13, 2006, which is 75 days prior to my departure to New Zealand.

May I count on your sponsorship for this exciting and worthwhile Program that changes lives? If so, please complete the left side of the coupon below, sign where indicated, and mail the coupon back to me along with your contribution. I look forward to hearing from you regarding your support for my summer program.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Zachary Mardoc
