I have reached the charity's target for me and my own target - THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far!! I really appreciate all your support!! Every donation makes a difference...
A special thank you to my students who have raised extra money for VSO at the 'Indie Supernova' event at the Wharf Bar, 22nd April, both on and off stage.
To keep up to date, visit my blog.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. (Deutsche Version - siehe unten)
I have been selected by VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) to work overseas for 2 years from Autumn 2010. As of 11th March I know that I will be working in Zanzibar, Tanzania, as a Tourism Training Development Assistant and I will be leaving the UK on 31st August.
VSO works as an international development charity that works with volunteers in over 30 countries of the world to fight global poverty and disadvantage by bringing together people to share skills and learning to build a fairer world.
VSO does not expect its volunteers to raise money to fund their placement. VSO pays for fares, insurance and training (both before and during the placement). The placement employer (a government or NGO) pays a subsistence amount and provides accommodation. Most of VSO's funds come from DfID, although it is increasingly expected to raise more of its own funds. It cost £15,000 to send a volunteer overseas, and as a future volunteer I am planning to contribute at least £1,000 funds towards the cost.
I am therefore asking your support - not to support me specifically but to support VSO's work generally. Any donation will be appreciated.
So please dig deep and donate now.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
