Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!
My name is Martha Young and I have been selected to spend 12 months in Uganda for my gap year, leaving in August 2009. I'm currently studying for my A Levels at school in London, and hope to go on to study Geography at university.
Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa, bordered with Kenya, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. The official language is English, though Luganda and Swahili are also widely spoken, as well as many others. I will be teaching in a primary school, as well as hopefully setting up secondary projects during my spare time.
I will be going away with an educational charity called Project Trust. Project Trust sends about two hundred volunteers to twenty-five countries annually and is widely respected as one of the most experienced and professional gap year organisations in Britain. Project Trust is unique in that it sends only 17-19 year olds away for either 8 or 12 months. Volunteers are selected following a 4-day residential course, based on Coll, a Hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland.
Any donation you make is greatly appreciated, regardless of size; please remember that any other help you can give, be it time, venues, possible raffle prizes, or simply advice are also of great value to me.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Project Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
If you want to know more about what I will be doing please contact me at marthayoung49@gmail.com
