In July 2019, I aspire to undertake a youth and sports development volunteer project to assist children in rural Fiji. My project supports a small charity, Think Pacific Foundation (1162190) who work in remote villages, where over a third of children grow up in poverty and where over 2000 schools were damaged during Cyclone Winston in February 2016.

During my one-month project I will experience tough and challenging conditions as I volunteer to deliver a government backed programme to inspire children living in hardship. I shall also donate vital school and sports resources to enable our good work to continue long term.

Through the project my aim is to gain a deeper insight into life in the developing world and use skills gained through my education and extracurricular interests to make a personal difference to children. I hope to immerse myself into the local culture, challenge myself and contribute globally.

To achieve my goal of volunteering and supporting the project in Fiji, I am aiming to raise as much money as possible towards the charity. This funding will be used both to support me on this trip and directly to support the children in Fiji by supplying resources, helping to re-build and equip schools and supporting long term educational initiatives for children and local teachers.

Any donations are gratefully received!
