My Travel Story

by: Charlie Smyth Start Date: Feb 2, 2018 - End Date: Jul 1, 2018

To everyone,

As some of you may or may not know on the 19th July I am flying out to Zanzibar to take part in an African adventure to Stone Town, Zanzibar. I will be volunteering in the local school by helping to educate the children aswell as get involved in building projects in the local area.

I am emailing all of you to see if it’s possible if any of you could sponsor me to help fund my trip and the projects we will be taking on in Zanzibar, to improve their educational and living conditions.

A bit about African Adventures

African Adventures started working in Zanzibar in 2014, when the educational issues in this area came to our attention. The Island is densely populated, leading to extreme overcrowding in schools, to such an extent that access to an education is halved, with many children only able to attend school for half a day. In a similar situation to Ghana, the schools we work with do not receive enough government funding to maintain and enhance their facilities, which is where we can help. In addition, physical education is not a part of the curriculum, bringing health implications for many – we are looking to address this with the provision of sports volunteers to assist with sessions and encourage physical activity.

Thank you in advance, any amount donated small or large will be greatly appreciated.
