I'm going to Madagascar for 1 month with World Challenge where I will be working to help a local community or on a conservation project.

World Challenge is an organisation which enables young people to plan and carry out their own expeditions in order, not only to explore a new country and culture, but also to give back to that community whilst we are there.

World Challenge aims to provide "a balance between family values and support, education, achievement, teamwork and motivation" and "support and facilitate the development of young people through life-changing experiences."

Hopefully I'll leave a lasting difference behind, both in their lives and in their village when the project is over.

The money raised will be spent mostly on building and helping with a community project, the rest will be used to buy food and get around while I am there!

I'd be so grateful to anyone who helps me achieve my target goal with any donation, big or small. It means a lot to me able to give back to the world when I have been blessed with so much.
