In July 2017, I'll be taking ten Year 12 students to Mumosa, Tanzania to take part in voluntary projects run by the Diocese of Leeds. During the two week period, students will be completing community work in the local village as well as helping at the vocational and rural training centres, a local secondary school and safe house. For this, students need to raise £1400 each for the trip, but also additional resources to take with us.

Students have made a fantastic start to fundraising already, but to help them along, I'm going to be doing a sponsored 209 mile (that's the length of Lake Victoria!) cycle in 5 days (or less). Those of you that know me, know I do NOT exercise, so I can anticipate that everything will hurt, however, it should help the students and create further links between us and the Mara community.

The cycle will be on a stationary bike (safer for everyone that way!) and will take place during February half term. Any sponsorship would be greatly appreciated by myself and the students, so thank you in advance :) Lauren xxx
