Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m really excited to tell you that I have been selected to volunteer overseas with Raleigh international on an International Citizen Service placement.

ICS works with communities that have specifically requested their help. It also aims to inspire young people in the UK and overseas to become active citizens who are passionate about long term community development.

The first part of my placement is a challenge to raise £800 towards the work of  Raleigh International and its ICS partners. The money raised will go towards enabling the overall costs of ICS, ensuring they can to continue sending youth volunteers to the developing world to make a lasting difference in disadvantaged communities.

My place on the programme is already paid for - visas, flights, travel and medical insurance, medication, vaccines, food, the lot!  This is because ICS believes in the positive impact of young people and wants to offer them an opportunity to change their lives and the lives of others. All the fund's volunteers raise will support all ICS partners to run the program effectively, always contributing to their vital work.

I will be working on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) projects could be involved in a range of activities, including carrying out community surveys to understand local health issues, raising awareness of the importance of good hygiene, developing resources to provide information, or helping develop essential infrastructure like gravity-fed water systems.

For those of you, that know me- You will know that last year was a particularly difficult one for me. That's why this year in 2020, I am grabbing life and challenging myself to this amazing project. I will be leading a small group of young volunteers in the mountains of Nepal, to help build and develop sustainable communities. 

I am so excited about this project and can't wait to get going- so please, please give what you can for a project that is so close to my heart. I will be flying away on June 4th and returning on the 8th of September. I will be living with a host family in the village and working with English and Nepali volunteers. I'm hoping that this project will help me connect and learn new skills that I can carry with me for the rest of my life. + ( see hopefully see some monkeys)

I will be so blessed to have all you're support, also please pass this web page on to anyone else that you think might sponsor me.

P.s- I promise I won't take home a goat. ( maybe)

Amongst other things, I’ll be running fundraising events and sales, you can keep track of how I get on here on my JustGiving page or https://www.facebook.com/Verite.lumi contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, so please dig deep!

Thanks for your support!
