Dear everyone,
Y Care International are a charity that aims to combat the effects of poverty and marginalisation of young people globally. One aspect of what they do is send volunteers abroad to work with communities and provide holistic support.
I am lucky to have been accepted to travel to Senegal on the 6th of October with the YMCA. Many people live on one meal a day, do not have access employment, clean water or basic medical care. YMCA works in partnership with young people to help them better the trajectory of their lives, and subsiquently the lives of the community.
As the project is run in conjunction with the International Citizen Service costs are paid for however part of the pre-requisit for the trip is that I raise £800 for Y- Care to help contribute to the continuation of the scheme and enable people like me to take part in the fututure.
Over the coming weeks I will be fundraising in as many ways as possible to reach my target and your donations will be greatly appreciated so please help out if you can as this is a brilliant opportunity as well as a worthy cause.
Love Sophie.
