My Personal Message

hi all,

Thanks for visitiing my page.
As you may be aware I'm leaving for Ghana, in the west of Africa on September 20t. I'll be spending the next year working in the village of Nadowli.

Nadowli is situated in the north west region of Ghana and while there I will be working as a Teacher Support Officer in the local district education office. My work will involve working with local primary school teachers; providing training and support in different areas. I will be letting everyone know about my placement and work.

This placement has been organised through Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). Read more about VSO's vision and approach below or visit www.vso.ie for even more information.

Your donation enables volunteers to pass on skills and share their experience with local people to help them lift themselves out of poverty.


I would be etremely grateful for any donations big or small. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. or you can contact me directly. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Míle Buíochas,

Laura

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.
