Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I’m excited to tell you that I have been selected to volunteer overseas with VSO on an International Citizen Service placement!

ICS works with communities that have specifically requested their help. It also aims to inspire young people in the UK and overseas to become active citizens who are passionate about long term community development. The work I will be doing will be in the Tang Krasang community of Cambodia, where I will be spending about 11 weeks; in a team made up of both UK and Cambodian volunteers, we will be supporting young people to improve their employment prospects and help them find safe and secure jobs.

The first part of my placement is a challenge to raise £1500 towards the work of VSO and their ICS partners. The money raised will go towards enabling the overall costs of ICS, ensuring they can to continue sending youth volunteers like myself to the developing world, to make a lasting difference in disadvantaged communities.

My place on the programme is already paid for - visas, flights, travel and medical insurance, medication, vaccines, even food. This is because ICS believes in the positive impact of young people and wants to offer them an opportunity to change their lives and the lives of others. All the funds we as volunteers raise will support all ICS partners to run the programme effectively, contributing to their vital work overseas.

You can keep track of how I get on here on my JustGiving page. Any contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries - I will really appreciate your donations.


Thanks for your support!
