I will be travelling to South America, next April for 2 weeks using my Accounting skills to support a local charity.

"The main focus of all AfID assignments is to develop and enhance the skills, confidence and potential of local people, enabling the organisations to ultimately have the financial management capacity they need to deliver more effective and sustainable programmes to their many beneficiaries, whilst maintain good relations with their donors."

Obviously leaving my Husband and 2 children for 2 weeks will be a hugely emotional time for me and not a decision I took lightly (although they will be sunning it up abroad somewhere!!), but there are so many non-profit organisations desperate for help, and without the knowledge of Accounts and Financial Planning, they won't get very far.

Please support this amazing cause!
