Story

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ffff00;"><strong>GHANA 2011</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">On 31st March 2011, I'm planning to embark to Ghana! In&nbsp;affiliation with ISH [International Students House] and BUNAC,&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">me and eleven volunteers will be staying in Akyem Juaso, a rural village situated in the rainforest belt of Ghana where the majority of the income is raised from farming crops such as cocoa, citrus and palm oil.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #008000;">As for volunteering duties, we'll be working on constructing a sanitary block for a community primary school. Unfortunately sanitation is a rarity for schools in rural Ghana, so we're hoping this project will really make a difference to the kids.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">We'll also get the opportunity to volunteer alongside teachers, with general duties such as assisting in the classroom and providing extra curricular&nbsp;activities for all to enjoy.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">The sponsorship money will go to construction materials and the local NGO in Ghana. BUNAC is a not for profit organisation and their primary aim is to create a better and improved quality of living in LEDC's.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">ALSO, informally: I'm a sleeping pig, sponsor me to get out of bed at 5:00am everyday (Ghana and England are on the same GMT!) and help me develop my very non-existent manly building ability.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">I need to raise &pound;100.00 minimum sponsorship to make this possible, and I'll be extremely&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #800080;">grateful to anyone who can help :).&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><a href="http://www.bunac.org/uk/responsibletravel/">http://www.bunac.org/uk/responsibletravel/</a></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</span></p>
