Lucy, Iram and Sam have recently returned from volunteering with Progressio in a small community in El Salvador this summer.
We lived and worked in a small community facing many problems, working in a team of UK and Salvadoran volunteers to help provide opportunities for the youth.
Whilst there we started a running club (much to the amusement to the locals!), surviving being chased by dogs, dodging cows and pigs in the street and intense humid temperatures of over 40°C... A few of us wish to take it one more step and run over 13 miles around the Royal Parks of London to raise money for Progressio - no small feat!
Progressio do incredibly important work in developing countries, helping poor and marginalised people gain power over their lives and overcome barriers keeping them poor.
