Hi,
I am excited to travel to Malawi for a whole year after college. This journey is not just a trip, but a chance to make a meaningful impact while immersing myself in a unique and challenging culture. However, I need your support to make this dream a reality.
Malawi is known as the 'the warm heart of Africa' and I am going to be a role model and mentor for young people who have a difficult start in life and help deliver informal education. Whilst having an authentic experience in a completely different culture I hope to bring compassion and care to the young people I work with.
Why This Trip Matters
This volunteering trip is more than just a gap year. It's an opportunity to:
Make a Positive Impact: By volunteering with young people and a local charity, I will be able to offer support and hopefully have a meaningful impact on young lives.
Learn and Grow: I hope to learn from experiencing a new culture and develop my confidence by travelling with one partner and being away from the safety of home.
Preparing for the Future: Following the trip I am hoping to study a degree in Geography and this experience will give me a unique perspective by living in a different country and social environment.
How You Can Help
To have this experience I need to raise £7450 for the charity Project Trust. This will cover:
- return flights
- insurance
- accommodation and living allowance
- training courses
I will be working each weekend to save as much as I can for my living expenses.
Your Support
Your support means a lot. Every contribution is appreciated, no matter how small. Here's how you can help:
Donate: Any amount you can contribute is greatly appreciated and will make a significant difference.
Share: Help spread the word by sharing this campaign with your friends, family and social networks.
I am so excited to take this opportunity and am extremely grateful for any support you can provide.
Thank you for being part of my journey!
