Raising £1000 to fight poverty!

Posted on at


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.

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!! :)
