5k fun run for charity · 29 November 2009

VESL is a small charity run by a dedicated team of past volunteers. We run worthwhile well-supported educational projects in the neediest communities in Thailand, Sri Lanka & India. Our volunteers help rural schools teach English, support orphanages, hospices & community development projects.

Story

Hey,

In January I am off to India to teach English to underprivileged children for three months.  I am going with a charity called VESL.

The project is a new school project in the foothills of Western Tamil Nadu (near to the border with Kerala).  The school focuses on activity lead learning which is completely unheard of in rural Indian schools so it's going to be a really exciting project.

 I am going over there to help introduce fun filled activities and experiences to give these children a higher level of education and hopefully a better start in life. I want to make a difference even if its only a small one please help me make this dream a reality!

To raise money I am going to do a 5K run at the end of November in Watford! I dont run, so this is a pretty big event :) I feel every strongly about the the trip to India and I need YOUR help. I will keep you updated  on the details of the run and anyone who wants to come and support me are always welcome!

 

Any money raised goes straight to VESL not to me :)
