Hello, my name is Jamie Duncan, I am a 14 year old student at Knutsford Academy.

Last December I was accepted on the trip of a lifetime in the summer of 2022 – an ethical expedition to Cambodia run by Camps International. During the 4-week trip, we will be working on community projects to help rural villages get the basic facilities they need such as toilets, houses, schools etc, to improve their quality of life. We will also be working on environmental projects aiming to help in the battle against rising temperatures and human pollution. These will include beach cleanups, planting trees, and more.  

I have significant funds to raise and this has not been easy due to Covid.  However, through car washing, plant sales, a school tuck shop, car boot and ebay sales and helping neighbours with various jobs, I’ve managed to raise over £1,000 so far.

My next challenge is to walk the Yorkshire 3 Peaks at the end of July with my dad.  This is a 24 mile hike taking in the 3 highest peaks in Yorkshire – Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough and we aim to complete the challenge in around 10 hours.  I’m looking for sponsorship from anyone who would like and is able to help me and any support, however small, will be very much appreciated. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
