My Personal Message

Hello to All,

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas), along with the Rose of Tralee festival, has invited me to take part in a once in a lifetime experience to climb to the "Rooftop of Africa." At 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the Earth’s crust. My challenge is to trek to its summit.

The VSO charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for them. Please take a moment to read a few words about the charity that I have chosen to support below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

It has been said that there are no great people in this world, only great challenges, which ordinary people rise to meet. Climbing Kilimanjaro will most definitely be a great challenge, however with the help of your support I am sure that I can rise to meet it.

If you have any inquiries about the climb or donations, please email me at acolton87@gmail.com

Many thanks in advance,

Ashling

About my charity

VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas)


Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) is an international development charity that works through experienced volunteers living and working as equals alongside local partners. It is the largest independent volunteer-sending organisation in the world.



Our vision is a world without poverty in which people work together to fulfil their potential. Instead of sending food or money, we send women and men from a wide range of professions who want the chance to make a real difference in the fight against poverty. These volunteers work in partnership with colleagues and communities to share skills and learning and achieve positive change together.



It costs VSO €7.80 on average to support a volunteer living and working alongside some of the world’s poorest communities for a day. That €7.80 enables them to pass on skills and share their experience with local people to help them lift themselves out of poverty. But as a charity we need your support.



Please make a donation today and help make sure we have the money to send our volunteers to the places where they’re so desperately needed – and keep them there. Thank you.
