Hi,

My name is Sam, I am a 3rd year Sports and Exercise Science student at Durham University

Next summer, I will be spending 8 weeks out in Zambia volunteering as a Football Development Officer. Helping to improve the lives of young underprivileged children out in Zambia, not only whilst I am there but hopefully for long after I leave.

The project will be an incredible opportunity for me to share my love and passion for sport to people in a poorer part of the world alongside helping to develop their life skills. I will also be helping to develop coaches knowledge in Zambia to make sport more sustainable after I leave.

Every donation will make a huge difference and help towards making positive changes out in Zambia.
