Story

Hi,

Most people fly all the way to Thailand for a relaxing holiday but I will be flying there to do something just a little different. Having approached VESL and getting the lowdown, I have volunteered for a 6 week placement for what I personally consider an extremely worthwhile cause. I will be setting up a project in a rural area within Thailand where it is most needed. This project includes teaching underprivileged local children English and helping run a community development programme within the area.

Good for you (or more fool you) you might say, "do you want a pat on the back"  I hear you say - well no I don`t.  Other than the personal satisfaction I know I will feel, praise is not what I am after, but of course there is something you can do to help.  

As VESL is a registered charity (1117908) all volunteers must raise the cost of their projects themselves through sponsorship and donation. So I am writing to you to ask for a contribution ( any amount welcome ) towards my placement costs. All money raised is used in support of the project.

Just take a moment to consider- We love to moan about what we feel is needed to make our lives more comfortable, our 'wish list'  but the children I will be working with through no fault of their own have a lack of even basic commodities so in our world their 'wish list' is easily satisfied with your and my help.  

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

 

Thanks
