For 3 months (April to June) i will be volunteering with "International Service" on a development programme in Ghana! (I was originality going to be in Burkina Faso, but after the problems in that country we have been moved to Ghana.) This is part of International Citizen Service (ICS), which brings young people together to fight poverty and make a difference where it is needed most. I’ll be working alongside volunteers from Ghana on a project working to improve the lives of disabled people and help to remove the stigma of disability. ICS works with communities that have specifically requested their help. It also aims to inspire young people in the UK and overseas to become active citizens who are passionate about long term community development.   

I need to raise £1500 for "International Service" who are one of the respected development charities that deliver ICS. This will allow them to continue to bring about positive change in the developing communities where they work. You can check out their amazing work here http://www.internationalservice.org.uk/

I'm going to be doing some fund raising things and you can keep track of how I get on here on my Justgiving page, i will also try to keep you up to date with what im doing during the trip (this will be a almost blog!).

Any contribution from you will make a real difference.
Thanks for your support!

I would like to thank "International service" and ICS for all the support they have given me.
