    Story

    I am going to Zambia in the summer, linking up with a church in Bolton and going out with a group of youths like myself to serve a local charity out there called the SreetLife Project. Whilst out there I am hoping to meet the children that the charity has been helping and serve in anyway I can. I am also hoping to set up a basketball sessions with the children in Zambia and try to promote the sport as basketball isn't big out there. I am hoping to bring some equipment out there in March and again when I go in the summer, there will be a basketball hoop which will be attached to one of the buildings and also some basketballs for the children to use out there and keep. I have already been donated some basketball kit by the local basketball club I work for, Crawley Cagers. So with this page I am hoping for donations to help fund my journey there which includes flights. This will come to around £1200, with this and the basketball equipment it is likely my trip will come to £1500. I am looking to fundraise with a Zambian food night where traditional dishes will be served and music will be played. I am also setting up some basketball related fundraisers at my school during the coming months.
    Many thanks for looking over this profile and I hope you can help with my trip in the summer.
    Thank you.

      Nothing, compared to some, but at least it will pay, towards the costs of using crowdfunding, so you can take more. Have a great trip & we pray you will be blessed as you bless others. Judi & Gary
