Lucy’s Volunteer Year in South Africa!

Unfortunately, due to factors beyond my control, the project which I was assigned to in Cambodia has had to be withdrawn by the charity. The project I am now assigned to is working towards the same goals and I will still make a real difference to a range of good causes.

To date, I have raised £3,900 towards the £5,100 needed to allow me to volunteer. Your donations have been greatly appreciated!

The project I am now placed on offers:                      

• low & high ropes, 
• rafting, 
• kayaking or canoeing,
•  sailing,
•  solo wilderness experience, 
• expedition hiking, 
• camping, 
• rock climbing or abseiling, 
• navigation and orienteering, 
• mental & physical challenges, 
• group dynamics & team challenges 

for children from townships, youth at risk, and individuals with educational needs and  disabilities.

The project aims to empower young South Africans with the character, will, values and self-belief to live their lives to the full and to consistently make the right choices.

“Before I came to this Outward Bound course I wouldn’t have thought it possible to teach a

life’s worth of lessons in five days.   I learnt about different cultures and that the key to cultural harmony is to stop listening to stereotypes, 

but rather to go up and 

speak to people of different cultures.” Shasthra-school girl from a township school.

The bases around south Africa which I will be placed will be in the following areas...

And that is replies within the space of a few hours, still about 5 or 6 bands to hear from, exciting stuff :D

Christmas with the Bentleys.

Every year for Christmas, rather than exchanging physical gifts with my Aunty and Uncle in Australia, we donate to charity. Most years we donate to World Vision and sponsor a few goats for them, and they donate to charities such as Water Aid. This year they have chosen Project Trust as their charity to donate to, in order to help and support me on my volunteer year adventure. I would like to say a massive thank you for the very generous £300 donation towards my fundraising, which will sponsor me to volunteer in Cambodia for 3 weeks!
