Fundraising for Voluntary Service Overseas
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hey everyone so as you know I am going to bangladesh On the 17th of October for 3months and then to Dundee for 3months and I need to do a bit of fundraising for the charity I'm working for. I am so interested in the program I am going to do and am very very lucky to be going. So I would appreciate it if you could help me with this and just donate as much as you could please. Thank You very much Lee. p.s the description below is just an idea of what I will be doing.
The Youth Action project in Bangladesh will aim to linkto communities and local service providers to ensure that the voice of the poorest people in those communities is heard. Volunteers will contribute to creating community action plans to help poverty reduction.
The Youth Action teams will be divided into groups of 3-4 Youth Action UK volunteers who will work alongside, 10 local Bangladeshi youth volunteers, 3-4 student volunteers in groups of 16-18. The groups teams will work in different areas Southwest, Northwest and Chittagong Hill Tracts each with a different theme. Each team will help to run projects in one village based on a theme:
Southwest (SW)
The programme here will focus around strengthening primary health care by engaging young people and linking relevant organisations.
Northwest (NW)
The programme here will help to create a cooperative for dairy marketing and enhancing livelihoods.
Chittagong Hill tracts (CHT)
The programme here will focus on engaging young people in development of the community and improving water access.
Each programme will be designed to build on the work of the previous cycles. The first cycles of volunteers will primarily be conducting research and mapping to create plans of action in particular areas such as, water and sanitation, dairy cooperatives and primary health care. The January cycle will implement the plans in the community, and the March cycle will evaluate the impact and success of the work.
Support and training will be provided through VSOB’s partnership with the University of Dhaka.
