Hi my name is Noah, I'm 13 years old and a year 8 student at Sandhill View Academy.

I am one of the few students to have been successfully (and honorably) chosen for the African Adventures trip to Kenya in March 2027.

When this opportunity erose, I was inspired not only for the opportunity but to also be able to experience new cultures, and give back to a community by sharing the skills I will be learning over the next year.

I have had a passion for charity from a young age and being able to help others gain the opportunities to receive quality education, life, and security means so much to me.

During my 8 days in Kenya, there will be 3 aspects of my journey; teaching, coaching and building.

Being able to teach the children is a incredible feeling in itself, seeing the children's faces light up as they learn something new is a true privilege and reward to be apart of these children's futures.

Introducing new sports in Kenya will help the children by boosting their health, confidence and teamwork skills. It also provides fun, teaches discipline, and may inspire future aspirations.

Building new learning spaces in Kenya will significantly benefit these children by providing them with more classrooms and areas for education.

By taking part in this adventure, I will be helping to address the need for increased educational opportunities in the community.

I'm fundraising to help cover the costs of my trip to Kenya, where we will be giving back go the community through teaching, sports and building projects.

Your support will directly contribute to these impactful initiatives, helping us make a real difference.

Any contribution no matter how small will help me to achive our goals.

Thank you

Noah Al-Shalchi
