My Travel Story

Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking a moment to take a look at my “Fund My Travel” page.

In August 2013 I will be traveling to Ghana, Africa where I will be volunteering at a local school for girls. The project’s mission is to help young disadvantaged females living in urban villages around Tamale. The center is for girls aged 7 – 18 providing them with a free introduction to formal learning and then enrolment into either state education or employment. These are opportunities the girls would otherwise not have, and from this first step they go on to become financially independent, thus able to make informed decisions about their future.

At the learning center we will be teaching between 40 – 50 younger students basic skills in English, Math’s, Social Studies and Religious & Moral Education. I will have the opportunity to stay with a host family for two weeks during this project.

This is an amazing opportunity to help these young girls and will prove to be a very rewarding and fulfilling experience.  Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
