Next year, in July, I will be spending two weeks taking part in the life-changing World Challenge, taking place in Costa Rica. Our team will work closely with conservationists, biologists and rangers on conservation projects that may involve turtle conservation, reforestation and organic agriculture. I will also teach the local children English and hopefully, make a difference to the locals' lives. I am looking to fundraise the entire cost of going myself. By donating to this cause, you are not only supporting me in the process but also contributing to the improvement of many lives in Costa Rica. It is because of you that I can take this brilliant opportunity to make a difference!
