Please contribute to these worthwhile projects and help me reach this £1000* fundraising target before 1st May 2010. In addition to this I’ll be paying for flights and kit myself (which includes things like: “Box Mosquito Net”, “Mess tins” and “Bungee Cords” and other things that I haven’t worked out the uses for yet...wish me luck!)
(*The target is now £800 because I have contributed £200 to Raleigh as a deposit for my commitment to this expedition already.)
Please sponsor me for any of the following: (a) this expedition (b) my 5k run in April, which I will run and not walk as I promised Jodie! (c) selling my teddy bears in a car boot sale!!! :( (d) because I really can’t wait to do this, it is for an excellent and necessary cause and I truly appreciate your support!!Thanks!! xxxx
Want to know what I might be getting up to? Examples of past projects include: · Construction of community halls and kindergartens· Construction of sustainable eco-tourism facilities
. Building gravity water feed systems that provide clean, drinkable water to remote communities.
· Construction of bird hides in Likas Bird Sanctuary · Rainforest reforestation projects · Construction of the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. About Raleigh International TrustRaleigh is a youth and education charity. Since 1984 we have inspired over 30,000 people from all walks of life, nationalities and ages to get out there and rise to the challenges of life on expedition.
We have two commitments. Our first is to provide a transformational journey for everyone who joins an expedition. We aim to awaken a sense of life-purpose and self-belief by involving participants deeply with people, places, and communities. Our second commitment is to our host countries. With a permanent presence and long-standing partnerships with government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and local communities, we are dedicated to bringing communities together, often for the first time, giving them the resources and motivation to achieve sustainable development. Our vision is to be recognised as a global community of active citizens passionate about making a difference to their world.
