VESA abroad Africa Unearthed

$1,235 of $10,000 goal

Given by 26 generous donors in around 6 months

We are travelling to St Lucia South Africa to spend part of our summer volunteering, helping with conservation, construction and education.

Bay of Plenty

We are a group of students and will be a part of the VESA abroad group and will work in conjunction with the villagers and the village chief in addressing the major issues faced by the village and the local schools such as a lack of fresh running water, dilapidated schools and generally poor infrastructure. Your donation will help to facilitate the means for implementing a major community development project, which will encompass construction in addition to educating the community on matters of conservation, sustainability, health/hygiene and English proficiency.

We are involved because we would love to be a part of improving the lives of those less fortunate than us.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be used to directly assist with the costs involved in participating in the program. These costs are significant and include hiring local skilled trades people to supervise and assist in the building projects, building materials and donations to local organizations. Every volunteer will complete a minimum of 40 hours of hands on community based volunteer work.
