<div>My name is Daniela Garcia I am a 15 year old TY student in Wexford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Myself and some other students from Loreto Wexford have been given the exciting once in a lifetime opportunity to volunteer in Cape Town, South Africa with Mellon Educate next March.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we arrive, I'll be working in a local primary school to help children develop their literacy skills and help them build confidence in their education. We will also be helping with light construction and renovation of the school like bricklaying and painting etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alongside this, I'll also be connecting with students my own age from a local high school, giving us the chance to share experiences and learn from each others cultures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This trip is not only about making a difference to the children I'll be supporting, but also about my own personal growth and building lasting connections and friendships across the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We each have to raise €3500 to go on this trip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your kind contribution will help make this incredible journey possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for helping me take part in something that can truly make a real impact.
