Hello,
My name is Sahel Arlimmi and I’ve been wanting to train Kung Fu since I was about 10 years old. Now that I am 18, I can finally decide upon myself and I have plans to travel to China next year, from today’s date, which is slightly after I finish High School.
However, being 18 you could imagine that finances isn’t on my side so thus I wanted to ask if you could lessen the price like a scholarship of some sort, but in return I can do things for you. I’m very familiar with technology and so, things like editing videos, social media and so on to promote your school I can help. I also didn’t see an option for over 10 months.
The length of my stay would vary between 12-36 months depending on several factors which will ultimately decide the length of my stay, but the plan is 12-36 months.
Kind Regards,
Sahel Arlimmi
