S’PORE ART HISTORY STUDENT NEEDS HELP TO RAISE £12,000 FOR OVERSEAS UK STUDIES

Hi All Singapore Stuff,

I’m Lizzie, an Art History researcher from Singapore who’s finally made the decision to further my studies. SOAS, London has offered me a place to do an MA in Southeast Asian Studies later this year. I need some help though, as you know, school fees are a major challenge to a foreign student studying in the UK, and I’ll be trying to support myself…

…Which is why I’m invoking the power of the interwebs to crowdfund £12,000, which is the last quarter of the amount I need. As part of my crowdfunding campaign, Let Lizzie Learn, I’m also going on a budget challenge to save as much money as possible before school starts. The premise is to live on S$50 a week, for 4 weeks, including food, transport, and other small expenses.

The crowdfunding, and my budget challenge, was launched just this week, but I could really use some help in getting the word out there about my cause. Art in our region really tells a lot about our history, and how Southeast Asia has been shaped by so many global events. I hope raise awareness about all this in the future which is why I need to pursue this degree.

I only have about a month left, so really hope that this project might interest you to do a feature on my story.

Sincerely,
Elizabethe Er (Lizzie)
