Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In January 2015 I will volunteer for 6 months on a development programme in Ghana. This is part of International Citizen Service (ICS), which brings young people together to fight poverty and make a difference where it is needed most.

I’ll be working alongside volunteers from both Britain and Ghana, on a project that seeks to promote development through sport. It provides a 48 week curriculum to girls and boys aged 4-15 to provide them with health and social skills they need to live healthy and productive lives. There is also a Street League football programme for young people aged 16-22. This is focused on young adults who are not in employment, education or training. The centre also hosts a Community Learning and Media Centre to promote awareness of and skills in the use of IT.

ICS works with communities that have specifically requested their help. It also aims to inspire young people in the UK and overseas to become active citizens who are passionate about long term community development.

I need to raise £800 for Lattitude ICS, who are one of the respected development charities that deliver ICS. This will allow them to continue to bring about positive change in the developing communities where they work. You can check out their amazing work here:

Any contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, so please dig deep!
