Story

<p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>This summer I'll be participating in a project with the student charity Oxford Development Abroad (ODA)&nbsp;in the remote Sima village, in the&nbsp;impoverised Baglung region of Nepal.</p> <p>This&nbsp;six week project will involve working in partnership with a local NGO called PSD, alongside local skilled workers to&nbsp;construct a community centre and flood defences for the village, improving the quality of life of local people. To do this, I'm looking to raise &pound;750 to help the charity will all the work they do!</p> <p>It is important to stress the money will go directly and securely to the local NGO in Nepal to fund the construction work, and employ local people. It will NOT be used to fund my own travel!</p> <p>It would be absolutely amazing if you could donate something to go towards this project. Please press "donate now", and click "gift aid" if you can - it won't cost you anything, and could increase donation by 25%.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit and read this page!</p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jack x</p>
