My Travel Story

by: Ellis Worth Start Date: Aug 5, 2018 - End Date: Apr 3, 2019
In April 2019 I will be travelling to Ghana for 10 days with Burton Albion Community Trust in partnership with African Adventures.

African Adventures are a volunteer travel organisation who are dedicated to changing lives in the UK and Africa through meaningful and worthwhile volunteer experiences. I have chosen to get involved with this volunteer work because I am interested in experiencing life in a different culture and have a passion for being able to make a positive difference to people's lives. 

For the duration of this trip we will be based in a small African village called Woe where we will work alongside members of the local community to make a positive impact on the local children’s lives: age 3-17 years. The work we will be doing includes building and renovation work to accommodate the growing number of students and improve their learning spaces; supporting teachers with delivering lessons and sport sessions and finally being able to spend some time playing games and engaging with the children.

The total cost of this trip is £2500. This includes: food, flights, accommodation, all transport in country, organised project work, ATOL protection and more. As you may have realised this seems a large amount of money to raise, so to gain this money I will be fundraising up until April 2019 both individually and with others going on this trip. Fundraising ideas include: bake sales, sponsored swim, sponsored walk, tombola's, curry nights and more!!

I have created this page as a kick start to my funding for this trip and will post updates on what events I will be carrying out to fundraise on this page so please keep check!

I am looking forward to going on this trip and am very grateful to have the opportunity.

Thank you for your donations.
