[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 444284, member: 29166"] Travel has become so expensive these days. I mean, not knowing exact exchange rates, that's like $4000 USD, which to me and mine is a phenomenal amount of money for a trip with "good experience" being the only payback. There are a lot of things you can buy with four grand. As far as fundraising, forget photography of any sort. People won't pay squat for it. Figure out something tangible to sell like pies or cookies or cakes or hand-knitted doggy sweaters. Make some flyers and describe the trip, what you're selling, and how to buy and contact you - several companies like Godaddy can help you set up a website for cheap. Deliver the flyers by foot to every doorstep you can get to. Ask at local shops if you can put up a poster there, but make it worth something to them too - if you make cookies for instance, ask if you can put up a poster where you plan to buy all your cooking supplies. One other idea is petsitting, petwalking, and house-sitting services, which a teenager can usually handle. Assuming they love animals. If they don't, such ventures quickly become adventures. :) [/QUOTE]
