My Travel Story

I am currently fundraising so I can volunteer with underprivileged
children that will give me a true insight into today’s socio-economic
issues in Zanzibar as well as teaching me a huge amount about their
life. I will be working with government-run schools where I will be
working with African Adventures work with two schools, which are
extremely overcrowded and underfunded to educate approximately 10,000
children in total!

I want to do this to learn more about their unique cultural mix and to
learn more about their history and culture. This will also help me
engage with people who have a different culture and learn help them to
learn more English. Also, it would help the children with confidence
by meeting me, to help not be as shy. Lastly to have fun with the
school children!

It will help me gain a new perspective as I will experience a variety
of cultures and languages. This will help develop my knowledge which
will enhance my perspective of the world around me.It will also help
me grow as a person as this challenges me which will help me grow as a
person, gain confidence in doing new things.
