In October I will volunteer for 12 weeks on a development programme in Kenya with Balloon Ventures. 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 will be working alongside volunteers from Kenya, on a project that will help young people from Kenya to start and grow their businesses. This will help them to sustain their own livelihoods and create jobs for others. 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 Balloon Ventures who are one of the respected development charities 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 http://www.balloonics.org
