In May, I will be travelling to either Liberia, Sierra Leone or Senegal for approximately 3 months to volunteer and enrich the lives of young people and to support the aim of creating a world without poverty.

In whichever country I am placed in, I will be getting involved in various projects from raising awareness about neglected health issues, to helping young people gain skills to be able to earn a living or start a business, to helping communities that have been badly affected by war to encouraging young people living in slums to campaign for improved living conditions.

It is an amazing opportunity for me and I hope that with your help I can raise as much as possible for this amazing charity; my target may be £800 but who wants to put a limit on the amount. The entire funds raised goes towards the charity and their ability to continue with the work they do in Africa, Asia and South America (not my living expenses!). 

I will be keeping you updated with any developments and how I am getting along, so please donate as much as you want because (as one supermarket once said) "Every little helps".
