Hi! My name is Avery Barros and I'm from a small town in Maine called Kennebunk. Right now, I am a Sophomore at Kennebunk high school, and I recently submitted my preliminary application to AFS to become an exchange student in Argentina for the second half of my junior year. I've chosen to travel abroad because I love the idea of experiencing other cultures and ways of living ouside my comfort zone. With this trip, my hope is to absorb as much Argentine culture as i possibly can, become more fluent in spanish, and have an experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life. I also hope to give back a little bit of American culture to my host family, and I would love to give prospective AFSers advice upon my return.
To make this wonderful opportunity a reality, I do need some help. In total, I need to raise roughly $9,000 for my trip tuition. I am currently fundraising, doing miscellaneous work, and keeping a job at Kennebunk house of Pizza, but I still need a little assistance in making this wonderful experience real. I thorougly appreciate you taking time to look at my blog and taking an interest in my exchange. If you would like to make a secure, non tax-deductible donation to my trip, please click the chipin button at the top right of the blog. No amount is too small, and every penny is vastly appreciated. If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward them this link: www.averytoargentina.blogspot.com . Thank you so much!
