From September to December I will be volunteering in Tanzania to help support children and young adults in developing their skills and education. The goal is to improve individual lifestyles through focussing on giving the necessary education to escape poverty.

In order for me to do this however, VSO have challenged me to raise £800 before my placement begins. By donating to my page you are supporting all of VSO’s vital work, enabling them to continue to change the world through the power of volunteering.

As a part of my fundraising effort I will be taking on the 'Live Below the Line' challenge of spending just £1 a day on food for 5 consecutive days. Together with this I will be enduring a 24-hour silence (as recommended by my friends - not sure how to take that) at some point this summer. I will keep you updated with all of my progress via this justgiving page.

Thank you for reading my story and please donate to help me reach my target! All donations will be greatly appreciated.
