The start of my fundraising to hopefully go to Ethiopia · 27 April 2014

VSO is an international development organisation that brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, and change lives to make the world a fairer place for all. Everyday, VSO volunteers are working to empower people living in some of the world’s most marginalised communities.

Story

When I was just 10 and stuck in school, some of the worst starvation events hit Ethiopia. At the time I remember feeling very frustrated that there was nothing I could do to help. 

So now I'm older and finally I might have the opportunity to go to Africa to do something really positive.

It may take some time to raise the money and to be accepted for the right placement but I'm hoping to be in Africa within the next 18 months. VSO have been putting volunteers into roles across the globe for many decades and I've already approached them about raising funds for my mission!

Please donate as little or as much as you can - VSO are happy for me to raise the funds this way.
