On 18th of September 2009, I am participating in the Office Skydive which will help to raise funds for Urban Scholars Programme which is joint initiative by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Brunel University. For this worthy cause, I need to raise £300 and PwC promises to match another £250, making it a whopping total of £550 per person which will cover the cost of skydiving and the donation to charity.
The Cause : Urban Scholars Programme
The Urban Scholars Programme is a University based intervention programme for over 200 12 to 14 year old students from inner-city schools. The project, based at Brunel University, is designed to provide potentially gifted and talented students from urban areas with the necessary academic skills, motivation and self-esteem to have high aspirations and greater achievement. The aim is to help them acquire high grades in their public examinations so that they can obtain places in universities and subsequently enter professions that members of their families may not have previously considered. This project seeks to find submerged talent in the inner cities, which is often masked by social disadvantage.
