My story

 

I have trained to teach English as a foreign language and will be volunteering to work with children in Sri Lanka in August this year. Please could you give to these children by sponsoring me to volunteer with them.

Not only will you be helping me to give support where it's sorely needed, but you'll also help scores of young children whose future has been jeopardised by poverty, civil war and natural disaters.

Sri Lanka is still a long way from recovering from the tsunami in 2004 and there are thousands of children left orphaned by over 20 years of civil war, having been forced to flee their homes - some several times before they reach adulthood.

These children face a bleak future, but education will help them escape from poverty and a little knowledge of English will help them access a huge employment market - the tourism industry. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. I'm volunteering through the charity 'Volunteers For Educational Support And Learning'. Money raised through this site goes straight to them (so no chance of me spending it on wine, shoes, whisky, books etc). If you are a UK taxpayer make sure you tick the right box so an extra 28% can be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please sponsor me now!

The very best of luck Millie! xx Donation by Katie Brown 26/06/08
