Iʼve raised £400 to help fund my placement to South Africa to support sexually abused children

Story
I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to volunteer in South Africa supporting children who have been sexually abused. Next summer I will be going to South Africa for 3 weeks alongside the amazing team at Operation Bobbi Bear.
The South African criminal justice system is much less effective than ours in the UK. This means that many sexually abused children do not receive the justice for the crime committed against them, or the support to help them through this difficult process. This is where Operation Bobbi Bear comes in. I will be working hands-on with these children and helping them comes to terms with the traumatic experiences they have been through.
During the placement I will be going to emergency call-outs and supporting the Operation Bobbi Bear Child Safety Officers (CSOs) throughout the abuse cases that come in during the time I am there. I will be visiting local police stations, hospitals and the High Court to assist with trauma recovery and support victims throughout the process. I will be closely involved with the rescued children when they come to the rescue centre and help them to explain their abuse using "Bobbi Bear" (a toy). I will also participate in lectures at rural schools to raise awareness about sensitive issues such as HIV/AIDS, sexual abuse and sex education.
All donations will go towards my placement fee which covers training, accommodation, airport pickup and support during the placement. Any donation will make a huge difference!
Thank you for taking the time to read my page. I hope that you will be able to help me reach my goal. If you have any questions regarding my trip do not hesitate to contact me.
