My Travel Story

by: Erin Milner Start Date: Mar 18, 2017 - End Date: Mar 17, 2018
My name is Erin Milner and I am lucky enough to be one of 15 students and two teachers from Walthamstow School for Girls going volunteer in a community primary / secondary school in Zanzibar. We will be offering help and support in the class room, working with the students, carrying out refurbishment work to the school environment, and teaching the children sports that we enjoy playing and taking part in.

I feel very lucky to have been chosen to go, I realise that this is an experience that not many people get, I will give it my full commitment, enthusiasm and bring energy to the trip.
I feel passionately that everyone should be entitled to a good education, and I feel that the trip will not only be educational for me, but I will be able to enhance the education and the environment for the children of Stonetown, Zanzibar.

When I found out about this opportunity I was overjoyed, I believe that everyone has that small seed in them where they want to make a difference, this is a chance for me to make a real difference. Most people are aware of poverty and some understand the impact it has on people’s lives, I realise that we are very fortunate and have a lot compared to those who have very little in Zanzibar. I feel that this trip will allow me to do something to show how much I care.

Every donation is important, please donate - anything will do... £2, £5, £10.
THANK YOU!
