Hi my name is Gemma and my aim is to fundraise enough money for me to go to Zanzibar in year 11 with my school, just after sitting my GCSE'S.

Whilst we are there we will be working alongside African Adventures with a community full of young children who are just looking for that one thing to make them feel special and to make them feel like they have a future.

It would be great if I could be a part of the adventure with my school, Blatchington Mill and help these children grow in confidence and put a smile on their faces. We will also be helping to construct and build some of the huts and buildings that they go to school in, making it a better environment for them to be around including activities also throughout the week.

I really feel this trip will eye opening and a life changing experience for me, where I get to see how good I really have things and to show that some of us do take life for granted.

No matter how big or small the donation is I am very grateful for anyone who can donate, as it takes me one step closer to going there. Thank you
