Hi, I'm Ellie! I've an amazing opportunity to be a part of my school World Challenge expedition to Kenya next year to help make a difference to a local community. It will give me the chance to step outside of my comfort zone, learn about a different culture and explore the wider world.

About World Challenge: "Through our school expeditions programme, Challengers develop leadership, teamwork and decision-making skills while travelling abroad. By really engaging with another culture and a remote environment as a team they change the way they think about the world and their place in it." https://www.world-challenge.co.uk

I'm told the project might include activities such as creating vegetable gardens, construction, repairing classrooms and developing playgrounds which should all be interesting and a lot of fun!

BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM...Dad says I need to raise half the money! And car washing and cleaning isn't getting me very far, especially when I'm supposed to be revising for my GCSEs! So any help getting me to Kenya to support the local community will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Ellie
