A Message From Lizeth Carrillo
Hola a todos! UniCamp es una organización estudiantil en UCLA donde los estudiantes de UCLA como yo tienen la oportunidad de servir como consejeros de campamento y recaudar fondos para enviar a estudiantes de bajos ingresos en el área de L.A. para acampar durante una semana en Big Bear.
Decidí hacer UniCamp porque creciendo en una familia de bajos recursos, cosas como ir de viaje o ir al campamento por una semana nunca fueron una tarea facil para mí. ¡Recaudar fondos para enviar a niños en el área de L.A. al campamento sería un sueño hecho realidad para un estudiante afortunado que llegue a ir al campamento y para mí!

Hi everyone! UniCamp is a student organization at UCLA where UCLA students like myself have the opportunity to serve as camp counselors and fundraise to send low-income students in the L.A. area to camp for a week.
I decided to do UniCamp because growing up in an underprivileged home myself, things like going on trips or going away to camp for a week were never a possibility for me. To fundraise enough money to send kids in the L.A. area to camp would be a dream come true for both a lucky student who gets to go to camp and for myself!
