Please help me get to South Africa to help those in need.

Hello, my name is Jack, I am 17 and am raising money to be able to travel to South Africa next summer with my school sixth form to work in a school there and help them with education such as maths and English, whilst also teaching some sport such as football and rugby. The money raised will pay for travel and accommodation whilst there and it is the purpose of the project that I self fund this trip through fundraising ,as this ability to challenge myself, to be independent and to work hard proves how serious I am about the project and recognising the impact that this will have on me and the children that I will meet in Africa.

I plan to climb the Yorkshire 3 peaks in April with my mum, my auntie and my uncle which will undoubtedly be the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I want to do this to prove how important it is to me to raise the money so I have the opportunity to take part in the life changing project.

Please help me to raise the funds I need by sponsoring me. To learn more about the partnership and the work I will do please read below!

Thank you for taking the time to read about this fundraiser and any money you can spare that will help me achieve my goal will be very much appreciated, every penny counts.

The Bambisanani Partnership emerged in 2006 from a British Council/Youth Sport Trust initiative linking UK and South African schools through physical education and sport. The link between St Marys, Menston and Mnyakanya High School, which serves one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most deprived rural communities, has become embedded in the lives of both schools, inspiring young people in many areas of the curriculum through joint learning activities.

Bambisanani is a Zulu word meaning ‘working hand in hand’ and aptly describes the work and vision of this inspirational partnership that uses sport as a catalyst to promote education, health, global citizenship and leadership.

A fundamental aim of the partnership has been to create genuine ‘two way’ learning between both countries with a key focus on ‘working together and learning together’. The Bambisanani story is testimony of the power of sport to change lives.

Now a multi-award winning charity, the pioneering partnership has gained international acclaim for its work. Despite the most challenging of circumstances this project has not only been sustained it has grown and expanded to involve other schools and indeed universities. The Bambisanani story is testimony of the power of sport to change lives.
