Hi friends, family and everyone else =)

This July I will volunteer for 3 months on a development programme in the north of Ghana. 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 Ghana, on projects in local communities. 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 £800 for International Service who are one of the respected development charities that deliver ICS. That is just 10% of the cost to allow me to take part, the other 90% is funded by DFID (a government department). 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 http://www.internationalservice.org.uk/ 

You can keep track of how I get on here on my Justgiving page (and of course facebook). ANY contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, I promise to go out there and help bring about positive change, so please dig deep (even if it is only one pound). 

Thank you!
