Try a "cause" page on Facebook. Host an "ask" dinner. There is a great book on organizing "ask dinners". Sounds fun! Good luck.

That is a lot of money to raise additionally even if you have in a fulltime salary. The one practical route would be to try to find sponsorship from a local company. However you would need to set out a well considered case that would appeal to them e.g. why do you want to do it, what would be the benefit to you (e.g. your future, education, international outlook) and of course what benefit to them - e.g. could you get your local newspaper to run an article on you. This is publicity and companies love publicity On top of this look at other ways. Of course a part-time and summer job is one obvious way. Then look at all the things you have and what you don't need anymore, and try selling them on Ebay. Ask your parents to support you ie that you do more household chores and ask them if they would give you money for them to help you meet your goal It's a big ask for a year, so you might have to consider postponing it for longer, but of course it is worth a go. If you want it hard enough and are determined and enthusiastic then anything is possible.
