Teaching in Senegal · 20 August 2022

Project Trust is a Scottish-registered educational charity providing young people in the UK and Europe with international volunteering experiences. Project Trust Volunteers are based in projects in Africa, Asia or Latin America for 12 or 8 months supporting teaching or youth development work. Empowering global citizens Project Trust’s aim is to empower generations of young people to act as responsible and active global citizens. We support ethical, long-term volunteering experiences which enable the Volunteers to make a meaningful contribution to their host community whilst building knowledge, skills and cultural intelligence. Project Trust works with a small group of Volunteers each year, allowing the staff team to know each individual’s skills and interests. This allows us to place Volunteers in projects where they can get the most out of the experience and enables our staff to provide tailored support to each young person. Project Trust strives to be open to all young people with the desire, motivation and aptitude required to benefit from a long-term, ethical, volunteering placement

Story



Hi, I’m Donald, an S6 student from Argyll. I am fundraising for Project Trust, a charity based on the Hebridean Isle of Coll, which selects young people to teach overseas. I have been offered the opportunity to teach for a year in Senegal during 2022/23 when I have finished school. 

I applied to Project Trust because they only send
volunteers to projects where they are really needed. In Senegal, education is the key to progressing the next generation and providing socio-economic stability for individuals and the region. For me personally, it will also be a fantastic opportunity to really get under the skin of, and empathise with, a different culture: to gain insights, skills and experiences which I hope to take forward throughout my life.
However, to achieve this I need your help! I need to raise a total of £6,950 over the next year for Project Trust to fund my project and help the charity continue its global operations. Any donations no matter how small would be greatly appreciated.
