4 Weeks to Go!!

Hola!

Firstly a massive thank you for your support and generosity for all our fundraising efforts and for your interest in the ICS placement we are doing in Bolivia, with Tearfund.

We are so excited to be a part of it and over the last few weeks have been working hard on our fundraising to meet and even exceed our £800 target. To raise money so far we have held music concerts of both the Jazz & Soul and Orchestra variety, Karaoke-Quiz night, have completed personal challenges of running, local community walks to support and raise awareness of those in water and sanitation poverty, chilli challenge, and days of glorious bake sales and more! As a result half the team has met their target and now it's the final push for a few of us to get there.

Some of the fundraising has been challenging mentally and physically, and have pushed us out of our comfort-zone but personal development is all part of the process and it also leads to success - each and every penny counts!

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated and supported us so far!

The Reason for it all...!

For anyone who is wondering what we'll be doing in Bolivia; Oeser is an educational project that runs a youth community centre and a social enterprise selling Quinoa cereal bars. Our main activity will focus on the following:

• In a community centre: creating a youth club for children from the school and in the local community
• In a business setting: helping Oeser sell the Mikuni products into the local community and increasing sales of the cereal bars.

Our goal will be to plan and lead activities to attract youth with the end goal being to get the youth to take over and run the club themselves. We are really keen to see partnerships formed in their local communities and connections have been made that wouldn't have naturally. For more information on the Oeser project visit: Tearfund Oeser
