Gap year to Senegal · 1 January 2010

Project Trust encourages school leavers to spend a whole year volunteering in Africa, Asia, Central and South America. Its unique approach enables volunteers to develop their full potential while immersing themselves in a new community and sharing their skills and interests.

Story

My Project

In January I am going over to Senegal in West Africa to live and work for 8 months. I will be going with the charity Project Trust and living in the capital, Dakar. My project primarily involves me teaching English in a Primary school as well as Music and Drama. Less than half the population of Senegal can read or write so there’s a huge need for help to improve learning for the less fortunate children who wouldn’t usually have access to a good education.

However before I go I have to raise £4060 to allow me to live and fund the project I will be participating in for 8 months. I will be organising lots of fundraising events to raise this amount such as Ceilidhs and other fun stuff which I hope I will see you all at!

Any donations no matter how big or small are a help towards reaching my total.

JustGiving is one of the best ways to donate to my project. Its quick and easy as well as being totally secure! If you’re a UK taxpayer, JustGiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid and a 3% supplement are added to your donation.

Thank you :)
