In January, I'll be going to Durban in South Africa to volunteer at LIV Village for 6 months.

LIV provides holistic residential care for orphaned and vulnerable children, as well as unconditional love and spiritual discipleship. The village consists of the children living with a trained foster mother and a school to educate them. There is currently 154 children in their care. But, there are over 5 million orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa alone; LIV hopes to have villages all across the country in the future.

Or you can watch this video about what the village is like now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5nQ_vR5vkg

I am very excited to start the gap year, but would really appreciate some help fundraising. The cost of the course is £2500, not including flights, visa's and vaccinations.
