Okay, so I need to get my message out there as I'm trying to fundraise a lot of money in a short amount of time. Thus, I'd like to contact John or Hank about my project so that they can maybe promote it or help in some other way.
Here's a little about what I'm doing:
In July this year myself and a group of other young girls from Birmingham and Glasgow university, are going to be going to Mbarara, Uganda on a volunteering trip!
We’ll be working with a charity called GETS (girls empowered to serve), whose main objective is to empower women. We'll be working alongside a girl’s ministry in their daily activities, teaching them vocational skills and learning about God and our experiences as women from various cultures.
In Uganda, women are very much second-class citizens, so building up their confidence in themselves both spiritually and practically is very important as it empowers the women themselves, and enables them to go on and lead others in their community. We will also be running a women’s conference, as well as volunteering in other areas of the community such as schools, universities, and HIV clinics.
The trip looks amazing and the charity has had great effect in the past few years. As you may imagine, though it'll cost a lot to be able to go. Therefore, we'll be working hard at fundraising over the next couple of months. Any help you have to offer would be very much appreciated.
