Sixteen year old Tia from the Isle of Wight is coming to the end of her fundraising efforts which would allow her to volunteer in Tanzania later this year.
Tia is passionate about being able to help the young children of a tribe in the Ngorongoro District in Tanzania, East Africa.
She’s raised just over £500 of the £1,785 target and has been given an extra five days left to meet the target. Tia is hoping that OnTheWight readers will be able to help.
Tia says,
“In October this year I will be visiting the Ngorongoro District in Tanzania East Africa to volunteer at a primary school. Wasso is a small village and the children that attend the school live mainly in local Maasai tribes.
“The charity I will be volunteering with (Ngorongoro Education Project Tanzania) has refurbished a local school giving many children the chance to an education that would not have been possible otherwise.
“The charity recognises the barriers some children face even in just getting to school and have complimented their educational work with initiatives such as food projects and making resources available to the children.
“Old shipping containers have been turned into classrooms and playgrounds have been built for them to play in.
“I really want to make a difference in the lives of children who do not have such an easy life as we do here in the UK. We have so many opportunities that we take for granted and I am passionate about sharing some of these with the children in Tanzania.
“Thank you in advance for any donation you are able to contribute!”
