In April 2017, I was accepted onto the World Challenge Expedition to Malaysia departing in April 2019.

On this trip I will be doing international volunteering for the first time.

I will be helping to teach english to primary school children as well as living with local tea plantation communities and volunteering on their plantations.

This trip is self funded and I have to raise £2500 in order to participate. So far I have raised £400 by doing a variety of things like cake sales, dog walking and babysitting. I am now asking for sponsorship as I am doing a 30km cycle ride on 12 May.

I am so excited about this challenge and cannot wait to volunteer in communities that are less fortunate than mine. I hope you will be able to help me to achieve this goal.
