I've raised £6000 to take 13 students from Allerton Grange School in Leeds on a humanitarian expedition to Tanzania in August 2018 with Camps International.

Story
We are a group of hard working young people from Allerton Grange School in Leeds who want to make a difference and have a positive impact on the world we live in.
By sheer hard work and determination, we are raising funds to take us on a life-changing journey with Camps International. In August 2018 we will be travelling to Tanzania for 1 month to live and work alongside local people.
Whilst in Tanzania we will be helping to;
• Build and renovate school buildings in rural Tanzania so local children don’t have to walk miles everyday to access an education.
• Construct vitally needed community housing from local materials for some of the most impoverished families.
• Install new water facilities to provide fresh drinking water to local communities.
• Undertake conservation work supporting local initiatives that help to restore and protect some of Tanzania’s most vulnerable habitats and animals.
Why Tanzania?
40% of people in Tanzania are living under the poverty line.
Nearly half of the population lives on less than $1 a day.
The average life expectancy in Tanzania is just 55 years.
How can you help?
We need to raise £3,800 each and are all taking part in individual fundraising efforts. However, we will be together for a whole month in a foreign country, with no contact to home or friends, and part of our journey is about learning to work together as a team. We have created this page to accept donations for our team fundraising efforts.
