My name is Daisy and I am a 16 year old, Year 12 student at Devizes School in Wiltshire. I am currently fundraising to give me the chance to go on an expedition with Camps International in the summer of 2018 to Peru where I will carry out voluntary work.

Whilst there I will help to improve the standard of living for the local communities and spend some time supporting some of the most ancient civilizations on earth, The Quechua and the Aymara people. I will be living with a local family and there are many ways in which I will be employed.

For example improving school facilities, building greenhouses (malnutrition is prevalent), improving sanitation facilities and tourism development. Making mud bricks to build local houses. As well as getting involved in the environmental reforestation projects that address habitat destruction in Peru.

To be able to make this trip I need to fundraise as much of the cost as possible. To help raise the funds to enable me to participate in this opportunity I am going to swim a marathon (26 miles in 26 days) and would be grateful for any donations to help me achieve my goal.

I will be braving my swim from the 19th March - 13th April 2018.

THANK YOU!!
