In the summer of next year, I will be travelling to Nicaragua for three weeks with World Challenge, whilst there exploring the country and culture I will be volunteering in the local community. Our volunteering will be with a local school, helping with renovation or education. I am hugely excited for the trip, not only for the amazing activities we will do whilst out there, but also to be able to directly help those less fortunate than me and to see my work make a difference. I have been busy fundraising with bake sales, coffee mornings, babysitting and selling anything I can get my hands on. However, four friends and I have decided to take it one step further with a 16 hour overnight row at my school on the 29th of September. As excited as we are, we are prepared for the blisters, back pain and bad moods! I would hugely appreciate anything you could donate no matter how small or large, as every little helps! Thank you for all the support on my journey so far. Tara x
