Story

Hello friends and families,

This summer, I’ll be volunteering for 6-8 weeks in Rwanda, Africa under Edinburgh Global Partnership (EGP). In partnership with a non-governmental organization called Growing Opportunities International (GO!), I’ll be building a classroom, play structure and a water catchment system to improve the St Laurent Nursery School in Musha, Eastern Province, Rwanda. The cost of the construction will be £3,400 and so far, we managed to fundraise around £1,200. 

To achieve our target, I will need your generous contribution- and for that, I will be risking my life by jumping off 175ft, facedown with nothing but a piece of rubber rope to stop me from plunging into the ground. Bungee jumping doesn’t really appeal to me but hey, anything for the children in Rwanda. I hope to fundraise around £300 through my charity bungee jumping and I hope you can sponsor me. If I get over £400, I will jump in my cow onesie!

What’s the incentive? For every generous donation you make, no matter the amount; I will personally donate £1 on your behalf for a chance for you to win an iPad. If you don't already know what I am talking about, here's the fb page: http://www.facebook.com/events/502645016433867/

All the money fundraised goes directly to the community; none of it is for personal cost.

I will be forever grateful for even the tiniest amount.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sincerely,

Yii Foong
