Y Care International: Intl Citizens Service · 31 December 2018 ·

Y Care International is the international development and relief agency of the YMCA in the UK and Ireland. We work in partnership with YMCAs in the global south, funding and supporting grassroots development programmes that help young people lift themselves out of poverty.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

In June I will volunteer for Y Care International on a development programme in Senegal. This is part of International Citizen Service (ICS), which brings young people together to fight poverty and make a difference where it is needed most. I’ll be working alongside volunteers from Senegal, on a project that helps young people campaign for peace in their community. In hope that their voices can be heard and that they will be able to influence people in power to enable them to have better services. I will be educating and teaching young people - assisting them to learn the skills they need to earn a living. I will be supporting them through the use of sports and arts projects to explain that they do not have to result to joining gangs or violence.  ICS works with communities that have specifically requested their help. It also aims to inspire young people in the UK and overseas to become active citizens who are passionate about long term community development. 

 I need to raise £800 for Y Care International who are one of the respected development charities that deliver ICS. This will allow them to continue to bring about positive change in the developing communities where they work. You can check out their amazing work here http://www.ycareinternational.org/  

Any contribution from you will make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries, so please dig deep! 

 Thanks for your support!
