The Wallace Group's Volunteer Zambia Project is an international volunteering programme between several leading UK universities and the Zambian sports NGO, Sport in Action. They use sport as a tool to engage, educate and empower thousands of young people every week in Zambia and the UK.

I’ll be spending 6 weeks based in Lusaka, heading out to the Fountain of Hope orphanage in the morning to coach football, then travelling to Chipata to work in the community school in the afternoon. This is all with the aim of achieving the Wallace Groups goal of "empowering communities and enriching the lives of young Zambians through the power of sport, leadership and education.”

As part of this project each student taking part has to raise a total of £2,000 in order to fund for equipment, travel, leading sports sessions, carrying out coaching seminars for local teachers and activity leaders and building new sports facilities. As a last push of reaching this target, if anyone would like to donate, please feel free.

Any contributions will be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,

Dan
