On July 2nd I will embark on a trip, volunteering for VSO on a development programme in Tajikistan. This is part of International Citizen Service (ICS), which brings young people together to fight poverty and make a difference where it is needed most. I’ll be working alongside volunteers from Tajikistan on a project that works in the area of inclusive social and economic development. We work with marginalized youth and women from low income households to make sure vulnerable people and communities are benefiting from economic growth. 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.

I need to raise £800 for VSO who are one of the respected development charities that deliver ICS. This will allow them to continue to bring about positive change in the developing communities where they work. You can check out their amazing work here http://www.vso.org.uk/

I am going to do a number of things to fundraise and you can keep track of how I get on here on my Justgiving. Any contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, so please dig deep!

Thanks for your support!
