I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to go on a once in a lifetime trip to Malawi with a group from my school, Williamwood High School. I will be going to Ekwendeni, Malawi with my school to re-build 3 classrooms which have recently been condemned and are set to be demolished. In the school the children are forced to sit un unsafe and unpleasent classes crammed with up to 60 pupils per room with only one teacher. By building this new block of classrooms i hope to give the children of Ekwendeni a brand new and inspiring enviroment to learn in and to prosper.

My peers and i are responsible for raising money as a group to spend on the children and the reconstruction of the block of classrooms. So far as a group we have raised £33,000 to use on the children. The money that you donate will help me pay for me to go on this journey. I hope you can support me and help me take part in this experince which will not only change the lives of the children but my life aswell.

I am going to do a 66 mile cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh to raise money to help me go on this once in a lifetime trip. I have been preparing myself for the trip for the past few weeks and have had great support from my local community as they have kindly donated to help me start my amazing journery.

Thank you for reading, and helping me achieve my goal, Jude
