Fundraiser for trip to Tanzania with Grassroots

Hello, my name is George and I'm a Year 12 student at Bishop Luffa Sixth Form. I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Mbeya, Tanzania in July 2024 to spend 2 weeks working with local communities alongside the Grassroots Trust charity.

Whilst out in Tanzania I will be participating in charity work with Grassroots, for example constructing beds for families, assisting with feeding programs, helping with lessons at a Mbyen school, taking the school children to the zoo and delivering chickens to families.

We will be doing work that underpins Grassroots main values; that a little can go a long way. Grassroots has worked with the community in Mbeya for over 20 years to support children out of poverty and hunger and through education. More information about Grassroots can be found on the school website: https://www.bishopluffa.org.uk/student-leadership/grassroots-our-whole-school-charity/

However, this amazing experience will only be possible if I am able to raise enough money to go. Therefore, I have the goal of raising £1,700 to fund my trip.

To help raise this money, I will be walking the West Sussex Literary Trail in May and am looking for sponsorship. This is a 55 mile (88km) hike that will take me from Horsham to Chichester through the South Downs National Park. I am planning to do this in 3-4 days during half-term, averaging 13 miles per day.

If you are able to support my fundrasing and sponsor my walk it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

George Humphrey
