Fundraising for The Vine Trust
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am a Senior Student at The James Young High School and along with fellow Students from JYHS & WCHS I will be travelling to Peru in Summer 2011 to work voluntary with The Vine Trust. While there, I will be helping with building work in the homes and will have the pleasure of working directly with the boys who live in the homes.
I feel very privileged to have this opportunity, and see it as a chance to open my eyes to the world outside of West Lothian. The work I will be involved in across in Peru will make such a difference to the life of the boys in the homes across there. In order to make this happen however, I need to raise money to help fund my trip across. I consider this experience to be invaluable, and the work I will be doing there will greatly benefit the work of the charity.
It is estimated that many thousands of children live on the streets of Peru's capital city of Lima, the Amazonian city of Iquitos, and the Incan capital of Cusco. Local authorities offer little help, and it is very much left to charities to reach out and help these children.
Any donations will help support me in working with this charity, and are very much appreciated.
Thank you
