Hi everyone! First of all, thank you for taking an interest in my page, fundraising has to start somewhere!
My name is Isabelle, and I am volunteering to be a teacher for 8 months in next year in India with a charity called Project Trust.
I have chosen to do this for many reasons, the main one being simply that I want to help people, and improve the quality of education of those living in poverty-stricken areas.
Nearly half of India's 400 million children are deprived of the basic human right to education, and a staggering two thirds of them cannot read or write, and I am looking forward to making a positive difference some of these childrens lives.
As well as teaching basic English, Maths and Science I will run extra-curricular activities and be totally immersed in the community, living as the locals do.
I would like to work in overseas charity work when I leave university, so I feel this incredible opportunity will give me not only life skills, but also relevant experience for me to help more people in the future.
To be able to take part in this 8 months volunteering, I need to raise £4870, through fundraising events and your generous support.
Any donation, big or small is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your support,
Isabelle
