Hello everyone!
Below is a rather urgent appeal from my daughter Sadie (urgent, as the first deadline is Wednesday! 😱).....
"In July 2026, I will be part of a group of young volunteers who will go on a four-week expedition to Peru, with an organisation called Camps International.
I will be working on projects to tackle the problems in the local rural community:
1. Malnutrition: Peru has a complex malnutrition problem. 43.5% of children under 3 are anaemic, and 30% of children under 5 have stunted growth.
2. Poor access to education: 56% of students at age 10 are unable to read or understand simple text. Children in rural areas suffer the most.
3. Poverty: particularly prevalent in rural areas, with the national rural poverty rate at over 50%. Indigenous people living in remote rural areas are among the most affected by poverty.
We will be working on various projects from planting seeds, cultivating crops, to building schools, and working directly with the local community.
I will also be embarking on a four-day hike up Machu Picchu.
BUT... in order to be able to go, I need your help!
I need to fundraise £4720 in order to go,
Therefore, I am reaching out to you to ask if there is anything you could kindly spare to help me reach my goal.
I have to pay in these instalments:
£472 by 18th September 2024
£944 by 30th November 2024
£944 by 1st August 2025
£2360 by 1st May 2026
Anything at all would be greatly appreciated!
If you could also share this far and wide, that would be fabulous
I will keep everyone updated on all the fundraising events I organise, and my progress.
Many thanks,
Sadie"
