Hi,

My name is George and I am a 15 year old hoping to raise money for a chance to help local communities in Costa Rica.

My school has given me the opportunity to have a trip to Costa Rica where I will be a volunteer in a Community Project ran by Camp International. This is a 28 day project where I will be living and working alongside the local community improving their facilities and lives.

To enable me to volunteer on this project I will need to raise an overall total of £5000. This is where you come in. By donating just £5 (or whatever you can) you can help the less fortunate local communities with their basic needs. Using the money we would build toilets and showers and other hygienic needs. If I am in the amazing situation of having raised more than my target then any excess money will be donated to a charity close to my heart.

I am very excited to have this opportunity and to be living near these communities and get the chance to understand their culture and way of living.

From this opportunity I am hoping to gain:

An insight into Charity work

Valuable life skills

Communication skills

Build my confidence

I will also get some free time to get to experience Costa Rica as a place. I believe this is an amazing opportunity and would love for you to help me, the Charity and the people of Costa Rica.

Thank you very much from George Shopland.
