Ross & Will, two students from Queens school, are embarking on a trip to Malaysia and Borneo in July 2017.

They need to raise £3800 each in total, plus funds to cover kit and vaccinations.

They will undertake, adventurous, scientific and community as well as conservation projects along with 60 other students and teachers.

The aim of world challenge is to help with personal development as well as offering a life changing experience.

The students have to plan their expedition, riase funds, liaise with local contacts in both countries prior to the trip, then on their return share the experience and skills they have learnt with their local community.

Fund raising can take any form, but should be varied, offering each student opportunities to broaden their knowledge, taking them out of their comfort zone.

So far Ross and Will have raised funds by taking part time work, hosting coffee morning events, and other similar events.
