Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I’m
really excited to tell you that I have been selected to volunteer
overseas with Raleigh International 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 first part of my placement is a challenge to raise £800 towards the work of Raleigh International and their ICS partners. The money raised will go towards enabling the overall costs of ICS, ensuring they can continue sending youth volunteers 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, food, the lot! 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 volunteers raise will support all ICS partners
to run the programme effectively, always contributing to their vital
work.
Amongst other things, I’ll be taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge, litter-picking along the route and 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!
