Please help Me Reach Borneo – Evie age 13
Hi! My name is Evie, I’m in Year 8 at Outwood Academy, in Barnsley. In the summer 2027 I will be taking part in a once-in-a-lifetime charity expedition to Borneo with Camps International.
Alongside a small group of students, I’ll be spending four weeks in Borneo working directly with local communities, supporting important environmental and wildlife conservation projects, and challenging myself both mentally and physically – all while helping to create a positive, long-lasting impact.
What I’ll Be Doing in Borneo:
This expedition includes four key areas of work:
Community Projects – Helping build and improve schools, homes, water systems and toilets to support everyday life in rural villages.
Wildlife Conservation – Assisting with vital efforts to protect orangutans and other endangered species, and raising awareness about deforestation.
Environmental Projects – Helping reduce pollution and clean coastal areas, learning how to recycle waste plastics into items that can support local income.
Adventure – Trekking for 5 days through the untouched Bornean jungle and living completely off-grid with local people.
I will also visit the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre doing incredible work to protect wildlife.
How I’m Raising the Money:
The full cost of the expedition is around £5,200, and I am working hard to raise this through my own efforts, including:
A sponsored climb up Mount Snowdon
Doing odd jobs in my local area like babysitting, dog walking, gardening and shopping
Asking local businesses to sponsor my expedition t-shirt, which I’ll proudly wear on my walk and during the trip
Planning future fundraising events like car washes or cake sales
This is a huge opportunity for me to grow, learn, and give back to people and animals who need our help, and I would be so grateful for your support.
Please can you help me by:
✅ Donating to my GoFundMe – every penny really does make a difference
✅ Sharing my story with friends, family or local businesses
✅ Hiring me for odd jobs if you live nearby!
