If you read my blog a few weeks ago "Making a difference" you will have learned that I was undergoing an assessment in London to see if I was eligible for a funded 3 month overseas trip to fight poverty....
AND I GOT IT!!!! YAY!
In the next two weeks I'll be finding out where I'm flying off to and I can't bloody wait to find out! :)
As part of an agreement I am now on a mission to raise a whopping £1000 for the Voluntary Service Overseas so they can continue working with developing countries and supporting volunteers in making a direct contribution to the fight against poverty.
Check out VSO's latest advert here
Some of the issues I could be working with :-
- HIV and aids
- education
- youth leadership
- access to healthcare
- climate change
To raise awareness of VSO one of my fundraising ideas is to SLEEP ROUGH!! If I can get enough people together, we will sleep on the streets for 2 nights and experience just a small taster of what it is like to have nothing.
There is also whispers of a hunger strike....
Keep following me folks!!! And please swing by my justgiving page http://www.justgiving.com/Amy-Hill-VSO if you have a spare quid or two :)
Over and Out!! :)
