My Travel Story

by: Samuel Timson Start Date: Nov 23, 2016 - End Date: Mar 22, 2017
In July 2017 I will be embarking on an African Adventures volunteer expedition to Ghana with Beech Hall School. Through some donations, selling stuff and doing odd jobs, I have already raised £1300 and I am aiming to fundraise the remaining  £500 to cover the cost of my trip. As a volunteer in Ghana I will be contributing to making a tangible difference at the school projects by helping with building and renovation work.

African Adventures gives people from all around the UK the chance to enjoy volunteering experiences in Ghana, Kenya and Zanzibar with their locally run and led partner projects. They provide humanitarian, financial and developmental support to 21 educational projects, helping to improve the lives of 20,000 young people through the provision of schooling and food.

This volunteer trip will help me to appreciate the facilities and teaching and other things I have access to at home. It means alot to help other children to increase their opportunities through improving their access to education.
