Abroad101 donates to study abroad fundraisers that are set up by hopeful students who want to study abroad. Working together with GoEnnounce we choose a student mission to be highlighted and then award a donation to start off the fundraising efforts. January 2017 students winners tell us about their coming\u00a0study abroad trips to Spain and London. Diamond\u00a0will be studying abroad in Barcelona\u00a0with EF College Study Tours from the 10th to the 16th of March 2017. She studied Spanish for three years in high school and is\u00a0very much looking forward to immersing herself further into the\u00a0Spanish culture. During her trip, she will be visiting Las Ramblas, La Padrera, Barrio Gotico\u00a0and many more exciting locations.<\/p>\n Traveling\u00a0abroad can be expensive, so Diamond\u00a0has created a GoEnnounce Mission for her trip. Donations will be used to pay for meals, passport\u00a0and traveling expenses. We wish Diamond\u00a0all the best in Barcelona\u00a0and hope that she will have a life changing experience there!<\/p>\n To check out Diamond\u2019s Mission and donate to her cause, click\u00a0here!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This study abroad program will take place in\u00a0London through\u00a0The Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA). \u00a0During her trip, she will stay\u00a0in the Southwark area of London and study with\u00a0faculty and students from other CCSA-member schools at the University of London King\u2019s College Waterloo Campus.<\/p>\n Weekend\u00a0excursions\u00a0will include visits to Stonehenge, Edinburg, Salisbury and Alnwick Castle .
