Layla’s African Adventure
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I am asking for help in fundraising for my volunteering trip to Africa in 2024. I will be spending 10 days in days in Kenya with a group of students from my school and the charity African Adventures who organise it.
On our Kenya trip we will be volunteering at a school which is partnered and funded by African adventures. The school provides free education, food and clothing for children that live in extreme poverty in the slums. They would normally be working on the dump, scavenging for things to sell to support their families. More often than not the school will be providing them with the only meal that they will have that day. Our volunteer work will not only include teaching assistance but also physical work such as helping to build/maintain the buildings as well as playing sports with the children and helping to give enrichment experiences to their lives. We will also be taking over donations of clothes, toys, books etc.
You may think it is a bit cheeky asking for money for my trip but it is NOT a holiday. It is a trip to volunteer my time and learn new skills and have life experiences which are the chance of a lifetime and that not many 15 year olds get to have. I will be making a difference to hundreds of lives of children who literally have nothing. The charity encourage us to fundraise for our trip because it helps to raise awareness of them and their work and it helps them be able to continue their mission work. If you’d like to read more about the work that I will be doing or the work that the charity does/has done please visit: http://www.african-adventures.co.uk
As well as crowdfunding I will be raising funds by volunteering my time, organising events, selling unwanted items, selling products such as sweet cones and cakes etc. I’ll be selling advertising space on my charity tshirt amongst lots of other ideas solo and also in a group with other kids from my school who are going. If you’d like to speak to me about becoming one of my “official sponsors” with your business please contact me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for supporting me. It means the world to me :) Layla x
