Hey there! My name is Simone, I am 18 this year and attend Griffith University, Mt Gravatt. For years I have spoken about making a change in the world but haven't had the ability to do so. Thanks to VESA, I have been accepted to volunteer in South Africa and Swaziland. Volunteer work in this program is multi-faceted and includes working with children in an orphanage teaching English and basic sanitation, hygiene and nutrition through games and activities. "Our volunteers renovate and revitalise the run-down facilities with fresh coats of paint, new play equipment and the construction of bathrooms or kitchens." - (http://www.vesabroad.com.au/projects/south-africa) 
However, to be able to help the African community  there is a cost involved. My goal is to raise $2000, which will help tremendously in funding my expedition. Any donations of any size are highly appreciated and will help me in the long run. Thank you all for helping me make a change.
