Sophia took a different approach to fundraising. She reached out to a local doctor and asked if he’d be willing to sponsor her trip. Instead of saying yes right away, he proposed a challenge.
He and his colleagues agreed to fund Sophia’s trip—but with a few conditions. She had to complete community service in her hometown, explore other fundraising methods, and, after returning from Ecuador, give a presentation about her experience.
Sophia eagerly took on the challenge. She worked hard, met every requirement, and proved her dedication. In the end, the doctors fully funded her trip! They even encouraged her to donate any extra funds she raised directly to the orphanages, which she was more than happy to do.
