Fundraising for The Book Bus
Story
Hello people. I have been given funding to go to Zambia this summer to make a short documentary as part of my Master's project in Journalism. So excited!!
My project is on the power of stories and so I have chosen to volunteer and base my documentary around the Book Bus.
The Book Bus was established in 2007 to spread literacy and the joy of reading to disadvantaged children from rural areas in Zambia.
Since it's inception it has grown into a international organisation with buses now in Malawi and Ecuador!
The Book Bus offers a mobile library service and as a volunteer I will set off to inspire children to use thier imagination and envisage a better future for themselves through the power of books. I will engage them with stories and encourage and inspire them to read through song, dance and play.
So here's where I need your help. I need to raise £600 to cover the running costs of Book Bus and my volunteering while I'm out there. My costs are minimal. I will be staying in a tent for two weeks. In 30degree heat. Those of you who know me can appreciate that might be a challenge in itself and potentially I'm hoping reason enough for you to want to give? :D
Additionally my goal is to raise a further £400 to go towards the cost of maintaining the bus and ensuring the continuation of the work of Book Bus.
And here's what you'll get back. I will keep you regularly updated with my trip. And for all your kindness you guys will be the first to see my documentary once its done and hopefully you'll be able to see for yourself why I chose to go to Zambia and to support the brilliant work of the Book Bus!!
Thanks in advance and much love.
Sunnah
