Hi Everyone! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page.

In January 2014, I will be volunteering for 3 months on a youth-led development programme in one of seven possible places: India, Nepal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

 

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 in country, on a project that will help protect and promote the rights of some of the most marginalised people in the world, help people and communities thrive and fulfil their potential, along with educating the youth in matters such as basic /sexual health.

 

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

 

 I need to raise £800 for Restless Development, one of the respected development agencies 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 at; http://www.restlessdevelopment.org/

 

I will not find out the exact details of the local project I will be involved in until a further training weekend at a later date this year where I will meet the rest of my team. However the kind of projects I am likely to work on can be found here: http://www.restlessdevelopment.org/where-we-are

 

Once I have further information about my programme and certain fundraising events I will be holding I will update you all!

 

In the meantime, any contribution big or small from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, so please dig deep!

 

Thanks for your support!
