We want all children to have a future - one that is not determined by their poverty. We want the communities in which we work to blossom and flourish and we want to protect the environment for the benefit of future generations.

My story

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.

In October I will be flying out to Tanzania to do 3 months voluntary work for Que Rico (Voluntary Projects Overseas). I'll be based in Arusha and will be working with children whose lives have been affected by the AIDS epidemic.

My day will consist of mornings working in a nursery with children who are generally aged from 3 to 6 years old and whose parents cannot afford to care for them, or they are street children and orphans as a result of HIV. The nurseries are set up to prepare the children for primary school and provide extra care where they otherwise may not be able to access it. Afternoons will be varied; I may be helping at the after school centre, where I will get involved with one to one tuition and spend time playing and being a friend to the children, or I may be providing counselling support.

I am very excited about this opportunity, but am under no illusions of what a huge challenge it will be. Before I go I need to raise £1,500 to support the vital work of the organisation. Any donations you can give would be greatly appreciated.

A huge thank you to all of you,
Megan
