I am raising funds for a trip to Chennai, India to volunteer in the Ebenezer Living World Matriculation School to help teach English, Sport as well as other subjects, I am also raising funds for sports and play equipment, which they can't afford to buy themselves.

As well as the benefits to the school and children I believe this will also help to broaden my horizons and to help share the education that I have been privileged to have experienced in the UK.

The funds will be used part for my travel and accommodation so that I can undertake the trip, as well as for the sports equipment.

Part of the trip requirements are that we are sponsored and this fund raising forms part of our experience.

The trip is scheduled for October this year (2017) and I need to gain my funding before the end of September,

This trip will help me give something back to the world and to experience a different culture and to understand the contrast between the opportunities here in the West versus emerging economies such as India where opportunities are still scarce.
