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Unfortunately, due to factors beyond my control, the project which I was assigned to in Cambodia has had to be withdrawn by the charity.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.

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...
