In July 2018 I will take on the challenge and opportunity of a lifetime, spending 6 weeks in Zambia in Southern Africa to help with Sports Development in the area. I will be working alongside other students from Durham and 7 other Universities through The Wallace Group (a partnership of leading UK Universities that focuses on sports development in Zambia) to enrich the lives of Zambian children through the power of sport. We will be responsible for coaching, leading and educating the local community in 4 sports – football, netball, volleyball, basketball. Sport can have such a positive influence on an individual’s life, so this is a chance to provide a glimpse of fun and empower a struggling community. In order to go I need to raise £2,000 by next summer to cover the cost of the trip, including necessary equipment and training preparation. I would be extremely grateful for any donations towards this fund, no matter how small.
