Guest post submitted via Sharna. Robs daughter at Davenport Wealth.
I know that we are all regularly asked
to help or sponsor various people for various events.
However I hope to gather
support from the local business community of Brighton & Hove to sponsor me.
In return for sponsorship I will be giving up half (3 weeks) of my school
summer holiday to volunteer to teach and help in anyway I can in an orphanage
in Ghana.
I have never done anything at all like
this before and, I will be stepping way out of my comfort zone to, travel with
some school friends (10) to Africa.
To be able to both pay my way on the
trip and also provide a small amount of funding for the orphanage I have a
target to raise £2,500. Of this £900 will pay for my flights, approximately
£650 will go towards security and accommodation, the remainder of what I raise
will go directly to the ongoing financial support of the orphanage.
I began fundraising in November and have
managed to raise £500 so far thanks to the
I will be asking for sponsorship at the
February curry club, in return I would ask all those who choose to sponsor me,
place a business card alongside their donation, in return for this I will be
holding a prize draw with the winner receiving two tickets for one of this
seasons Twenty-Twenty Cricket Matches.
