In June I will volunteer for 12 weeks on a development programme in Zambia. This is part of International Citizen Service (ICS), which brings young people together to fight poverty and make a difference where it is needed most. I’ll be working alongside volunteers from Zambia, on a project that focuses on improving healthcare in local 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.

I need to raise £800 for VSO who are one of the respected development charities that deliver ICS. This will allow them to continue to bring about positive change in the developing communities where they work. The money I raise does not go towards my expenses- 100% of it goes to the charity. You can check out their amazing work here http://www.vso.org.uk/

I’m kicking off my fundraising by doing a half marathon on 27th April. 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, so please dig deep!

Thanks for your support!
