Help Teaghan Fletcher Build a Better World

Dear Family and Friends, 

This year, I will be traveling with Builders Beyond Borders (B3), to Costa Rica!

Builders Beyond Borders, is a nonprofit organization, whose mission is to globally, and locally, make a difference in many communities. Throughout the fall, I will volunteer locally, participating in many different activities to help support our community. Then, in February, I will travel alongside 20 of my peers to Costa Rica, to complete a service project in a community in need there. Although I am not sure of the details of our project quite yet, I am extremely excited to be traveling with B3, and my team; Amanacer, for another year!

Last year, I traveled to the Dominican Republic where my team and I built a much needed latrine for a school in a community called Batey Libertad. This community lacked so many resources, latrines being one of them. Many of the people we were helping had come from Haiti, and were living there illegally. The school which we built the latrine for was named Yspaniola, their mission was to assist the children of this Batey in growing necessary skills so that in the future, they can become independent and successful. This latrine was just one step in the right direction, as the community as a whole lacks sanitary, and functional washrooms. Throughout my trip, I built connections with many of the kids in the community, and immersed myself in their culture. Even though so many of them lived in such poor conditions, everyone was so welcoming, and eager for us to help make a change in their community. This experience for me was not only life changing and eye opening, but also probably the most rewarding trip I will ever take. 

All donations given not only go towards my expenses to travel to Costa Rica, they also go towards the building supplies, hiring workers while being there, and any other fundraising we need to fully complete our project. I need to reach a total of $2,500 by November, and $4,000 by February. All donations are tax deductible,

Thank you so much for helping me and B3, Build a Better World!
