A Message From Ricky Valdez
Welcome to my Giveffect page! My name is Airpod around here because I am currently a Woodsey at Unicamp! I'm sure you're wondering, "What's a Woodsey? What's Unicamp?" Well allow me to explain, a Woodsey is the title given to the camp counselors that will be leading a group of young children during a week long summer camp in Lake River Glen. The name of this event is Unicamp, UCLA’s official philanthropy organization for students. Unicamp welcomes over a thousand children from under-served communities every year to participate in outdoor activities such as rock climbing, canoeing, and archery to sing a longs and playing engaging games with fellow campers. This year my session is titled WAVES, and we will be training upwards of 50 hours to be prepared to lead the campers to have an amazing week up at camp. The objective of our session is to educate the campers on the environment, and what we can do to improve the quality of life on Earth; all while having a great time. My session’s week of camp is from June 20th – June 27th, and I would greatly appreciate any contribution you can make to support my campaign by then. All the donations will go towards supporting a great cause of subsidizing the costs and burdens of the families of the children wanting to go. Even if you cannot donate at the moment, thank you for taking the time to read this and considering. But if you can, just remember, it’s not for me, it’s for the kids! If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to me, I’d be happy to chat.
