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.
