ICYMI: Sudbury Student Raising Money To Volunteer In Costa Rica

A student from L-S Regional is raising money to head to Costa Rica this summer to help in the community.

SUDBURY, MA—Depending where her group is needed, 15-year-old Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School student Michaella DeSantis could be doing anything from running a summer camp to refurbishing a school building in Costa Rica this summer.

Also in Costa Rica, she plans to volunteer for an after-school program to empower young girls and improve their education.

DeSantis has a GoFundMe crowdsourcing page up in hopes of raising $4,500 for the trip. She's raised nearly $2,000 so far.
