Raising 10K

When we announced to our parents that we decided to go to Morocco and its surroundings in a year and a half, they were reluctant at first, given it will be our first trip without any adults. They contacted each other and after much deliberation, they agreed to let us go. We rejoiced as it was the hardest step to achieve in our journey. 
However, we soon discovered that the plane tickets were costly, disregarding any other expenses. None of us was born with a silver spoon in the mouth so we knew that begging our parents for loads of cash was not an option. They did grant us $1,000.00 CAN each. We made a plan of our budget and estimated a rough total of $10,000.00 CAN necessary for our trip. We agreed on accumulating each at least $2,500 CAN. Undeniably, we will work blood, sweat and tears until we get the needed dough. We will regularly update our fundraising progress.
Plane tickets are often the cheapest in April, so that gives us less than 16 months to raise money (now December).
