Done It! 
A HUGE thank you everyone that helped me out!


Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Text donations are now active:
Just text NICA90 £5 to 70070

In Nicaragua:
-21% of people are illiterate
-2/3 of people living in rural areas live on less than 84p ($1.25) a day
-In the Achuapa district 1800 homes have no access to clean drinking water and 1200 homes are considered inadequate

In September I will volunteer for 10 weeks on a development programme in Nicaragua! Trying to change these things.

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 Nicaragua, on a project that will significantly help the people in the community we visit.

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.

I need to raise £1000 for Raleigh International who are one of the respected development agencies that deliver ICS. This will allow them to continue to bring about positive change in the developing communities where they work. You can check out their amazing work here.

Any contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, so please dig deep!

 

 

Thank you soo much!
