Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast(2 Minutes!) and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be volunteering in Burkina Faso, West Africa for 3 months this Summer to work on a project with International Service, a NGO with a mission to combat poverty and oppression. Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the World. Our team of 6 volunteers will support over 80 disabled women to earn a better standard of living by improving their commercial activities. Activities include helping develop marketing plans, helping people learn business skills, making a film about the women's production of millet and soya milk.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I am relishing the opportunity to take part in this programme and I am really passionate about helping disadvantaged people. I leave on 25<sup>th</sup> June and return on 17<sup>th</sup> September so this will give me time to actually make a long lasting impact on their lives. As this is a new programme we will create a long term relationship with the women and International Service Volunteers will regularly be going out to Burkina Faso for this cause.</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">International Service:</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a href="http://www.internationalservice.org.uk/">http://www.internationalservice.org.uk/</a></p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So, please donate what ever amount you can, anything!
