In July 2017, I aspire to undertake a youth and sports development volunteer project to assist children in rural Fiji. My project supports a small charity, Think Pacific Foundation (1162190) who work in remote villages, where over one third of children grow up in poverty and where over 200 schools were damaged during Cyclone Winston in February 2016.

During my one month project I will experience tough and challenging conditions as I volunteer to deliver a government backed programme to inspire children living in hardship. I shall also donate vital school and sports resources to enable our good work to continue long term.

Through the project my aim is to gain a deeper insight into life in the developing world and use skills gained through my education and extracurricular interests to make a personal difference to children. I hope to immerse myself into the local culture, challenge myself and contribute globally.

To achieve my goal of volunteering and supporting the project in Fiji, I am aiming to raise £1100 towards the charity. Over one third of this funding will be used directly to support the children in Fiji by supplying resources, helping to re-build and equip schools and supporting long term educational initiatives for children and local teachers.

I would be sincerely grateful if you may consider assisting me to reach my goal so I may make my ambition to volunteer on this project a reality. I would sincerely appreciate the chance to answer any questions you have about my charity project or indeed present to you.
