Hi, my name is Emma and I am going to sail around Tortola in a Topper to raise funds to build an above ground pool and teach 200 children who are non swimmers from one BVI primary school how to swim and be safe in the water.

Currently 70% of the children at Francis Lettsome Primary School can not swim in the deep (or without their feet touching the floor). I am raising funds for a community swimming program that is building an above ground pool in Greenland with the sole aim of providing low cost and no cost lessons to get as many people as possible in the community to be swimmers who can be safe in the water.

The fundraiser is in pounds because I am from the UK but will be sent to a BVI account.
