In June this year I'll be volunteering for 3 months on a project based in The Palestinian Occupied Territory. The scheme and organisation advocates human rights, aiming to support and empower those marginalised under occupation. 

I'm doing this through ICS- a government funded scheme for young people to get involved with international development. Fundraising goes towards making it possible for this programme to carry on, facilitating the opportunity for 7000 young people from the UK and overseas to participate every year. 

In order to try and raise the target goal of £800 I will be swimming between the two piers in Brighton this May, which is around 1.5k. Although it's in spring, for those who may be donating from abroad, that doesn't mean the water will be warm; this is Brighton. In the UK. The water never gets warm. 

Hope you can support me in this, any donation is hugely appreciated! 

Thanks guys, Alex x
