My volunteer trip to East Timor!

Hi! My name is Maya Yaffe and I have been selected as one of 12 young Australians to participate in the Pacific Project in 2015. This is a 12 month initiative run by UN Youth Australia, exploring issues surrounding aid efforts in developing nations. The experience involves a 2 week trip to East Timor, in which I will be visiting community partner organisations and gaining knowledge about the complexities of development, and how we can work towards a sustainable and long-term change.

As well as a registration fee of $5820, I will be fundraising throughout the year to help make the projects we will be supporting long-lasting. Therefore, I would be incredibly grateful for any potential support you may be able to offer me, to go towards the initiatives set up in Timorese communities.

Many thanks!
