I've always been interested in helping people and I have been given the oppurtunity through school which will allow me to travel to the Bornean rainforest so that I can help those in need for a month. I am going to be planting trees, as over 6 football pitches are cut down a day there. I will also be:

- Helping build important facilities like schools. I would like to do this as most children get the option to get fed or go to school in Malaysia, so an education that we take for granted would be greatly appreciated over there.

- Helping to install new water and storage facilities as most of their water sources come from rivers, which are not clean and unsafe to drink from.

-Helping to construct market areas to enable local traders and farmers to bring and sell products.

When I leave school I want to continue helping those from less advantaged communities and have already applied to do volunteer work, unfortunately, I have to wait until I am 16.
