Thank you all for donating to such a worthy cause. I hope to make a difference to as many people as possible, this is just the start of my journey. Volunteering will give me a valuable insight which I intend to share with others who might not be able to offer themselves to help. The more I research the areas of poverty the more compelled and drawn I am to want to understand and experience more. I wish I could take others on my journey, but will be certain to share my experiences and bring some of the culture back with me.

Hello and welcome to my just giving page. In 2019 I will travel to Kenya with camps international to take part in community projects. I hope to make a difference to those in Kenya living below the poverty line, who are in need of improving conditions with a little help from us. I believe I can enrich the lives of those I meet and know my life will be enriched by them and their culture.

Part of the criteria to be able to embark on this journey is to raise 75% of the cost myself, I am also holding coffee mornings and selling at car boots as well as crafting items to sell. Thank you for your interest and giving generously.

Facts: Around 51% of the population live in absolute poverty.

The average life expectancy is East Africa is 50 years of age.

Very little food to go around due to wildlife sabotaging crops.

Some children are able to attend school, others cannot because they are helping their families.

Nearly half the population live on less than $1 a day, this is equivalent to 1p.

Thank you for helping me to make a difference.
