My Travel Story

Hi my name is Fiona & at the beginning of May this year I will be travelling to a low-income area called Arusha which is situated in Tanzania, Africa.
I've been given an amazing opportunity to volunteer/assist in kindergartens & early childhood centers where many families rely on them for support while they go to work.
The facilities get no government support & are started by people with kind & generous hearts but therefore they always need additional help!
The children are most likely to be living in a single room at home either brick or mud but rented, they will live with one or both parents but most have a large number of siblings & the whole family will share one room & one bed. Volunteers are given the opportunity to pay visits to the homes of a selected number of children in their class & meet their family & see where they are living. In respect of their culture it is expected that we take a small gift to the family.
Donations big or small would allow the possibility of more food supplies, new play equipment, renovations, a teacher salary, clothing/shoes & hopefully a few happy faces :)
I've reached my donation goal which I am absolutely thrilled about. Thank you so much to anyone that donated, if you want to donate, you still can, any little bit makes a difference, Thank you!
