In February of next year i will be travelling with a group from my school to volunteer in a country of the coast of Africa called Zanzibar.

We will be travelling to and staying in Stone Town where every day we will be going to a local school everyday. Once there, we will be alternating between building and furnishing new classrooms, teaching the kids in subjects like maths and science, or coaching the children in sports like football and cricket.

I feel this is an amazing experience and a great opportunity to aid those less fortunate than us, but also to experience a different culture to ours here.

The reason i have set such a high target is that the trip costs £1700 pounds, and although i will be giving my own birthday and christmas money and setting up future fundraisers, it is still quite a lot of money.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated!
