My name is Connie Hamill and I am a student in Manchester. This summer I will be travelling to Nairobi in Kenya to take part in the teaching project ran by International Volunteer HQ.

On the Teaching project in Kenya we may be placed in either urban or rural schools, where the presence of volunteers is beneficial in opening the minds and broadening the horizons of students, along with exposing them to native (or fluent) English speakers. On this project I will be placed in community schools or government schools, and assist local teachers with daily classes in Math, English, Science, Social Studies (Geography and History), Art and Physical Education.

To do this I need to raise around £500 which will be used to support the local host family that I stay with for three weeks, travel to and from the airport, to support the projects and for supplies needed and for general running of the projects.

any help would be greatly appreciated :~)
