Story
My name is Bethan. This is me on the left .I'm 14. I've been given the chance to go to Borneo. Whilst there, I will work on a variety of community projects in an area called Sabah. I know I am lucky. I have clean water and I go to a great school. I think it will be good for me to go. I am willing to work hard to renovate communal buildings such as the local school and create pathways so journeys are easier. I will also be responsible for conservation projects in the jungle. I am nervous but really want the opportunity to test myself. I want to see what I am truly capable of. I'm a dancer and am often involved dancing out raising money for good causes locally. Last year, I took part in the Alzheimer's Walk in memory of my Grandad. This year, I'm fundraising for my trip as I have to raise the money myself. It will be around £4000 for me to take part. I am grateful for any donation you wish to give. I know I can make a small difference and learn lots of new things at the same time. Experiencing Borneo, its culture and meeting the people will be life-changing for me. I'm only 14 and as yet, I'm unsure what I want to do in the future. This expedition may show me a skill or a talent that I haven't discovered yet. I'd like to find out so please help me if you can. Thank you.

I'm working hard to get to Borneo to help people in the poorest areas. I'm not sure what skills and talents I will discover but I'm committed, hardworking and willing to do the best I can do! Trying lots of fundraising ideas as every little helps. Help me if you can! Thank you.
