This Summer I will spend five weeks volunteering in the Zambian village of Kazemba with the intention of supporting the community in order to make a positive difference.

My role as a teaching assistant in the local school will be based on supporting the children and local community with improving their English skills in order to progress with their education and ultimately, help them to attain a better future.

In previous years, the Volunteer Zambia has helped to build toilets for the pupils, despite the village having no access to running water. The team has also helped to provide better school supplies and resources in order to improve the school as a whole. This year we hope to carry out similar things.

I am aiming to raise £2000 in order to support our trip to Kazemba, any donations would really be greatly appreciated.

I will be sharing my fundraising journey on this page, as well as more information about my trip to Zambia.

Thank you,

I have set up another Just Giving Page, directly linked to the charity also, which combines both online and offline donations and therefore features my total amount of fundraising thus far.
