VSO ICS** · 31 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
I am volunteering with the charities VSO and Pravah throught the ICS (International Citizen Service) volunteering scheme which works with communities that have specifically requested their help and implements sustainable development schemes to aid development.
From late October I will be spending 12 weeks in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. Living with a host family and working alongside other volunteers and the local community.
Among other things we will be carrying out research using interviews, surveys and social mapping to understand the dynamics and needs of the community and planning and delivering education awareness sessions to government schools, women's groups, youth groups and women and children's groups on subjects such as hygiene, sanitation, sexual health and reproductive rights.
The first part of my placement is a challenge to raise £800 towards the work of VSO and their ICS partners. The money raised will go towards enabling the overall costs of ICS, ensuring they can continue sending volunteers like me to the developing world to make a lasting difference in disadvantaged communities.
Thank you for your support
