In October 2018 I will be taking on an exciting challenge and travelling to Cambodia with 39 other volunteers to help build a school. 

Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia. Limited education in rural areas is a major impediment to realising development goals. The limited access does not only affect the quality of education but also healthcare, economic and community development. Rapid population growth exacerbates the problem. We will be contributing to the strengthening of the community. The reduction of poverty throughout a community by starting with education benefits everyone from the young to the elderly.

Everyone deserves the right to an education and this challenge will help Cambodian children get access to this and benefit the local community. 

I am aiming to raise £2000.00 for this challenge, which will be matched by Santander (so £4000.00 in total). All of the travel expenses have been met, which means the funds raised will go towards Age UK and Barnardo's - two charities who do a lot of amazing work to look after some of the most vulnerable people in our own local communities. 

Any donation would be much appreciated :) Please remember to Gift Aid if you are a UK tax payer.
