In case you have not heard I will be joining a strong team of volunteers which will be exchanging comforts of our home countries to volunteer with some of the most disadvantaged sectors within Colombia. By doing so my aim is to make a difference to the lives of others...and hopefully mine.

I am raising funds for ICYE to assist the charity in continuing its work in promoting peace, social justice and cultural awareness through long-term volunteer placements. By donating to ICYE you will assist volunteers to be placed on community and social projects in 35 countries around the world, allowing us to make a real difference to peoples' lives.

Examples of volunteer placements include:

Working with sexuality exploited children in Colombia
Assisting social workers in an outreach programme for street Kids in Mexico
assisting with the teaching of special needs children in Taiwan To enable my participation as a volunteer I will need to raise £3700. This sum will cover my flights, insurance and a proportion of this will enable an international volunteer from Colombia to come to the UK and work as a volunteer in a domestic charity such as homes for disabled people, projects for homeless people, and other social projects. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Inter-Cultural Youth Exchange (ICYE-UK) Ltd will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support
