My name is Anna McKee. I am looking for sponsorship to volunteer in developing countries.
Auckland
Instead of going to straight to University next year, my goal is to spend 9 months volunteering in several Asian countries including Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Bali.
I will be involved in a number of tasks / projects for example working with street children, teaching children English, community development, women’s empowerment, teaching Buddhist Monks, and also some building/renovation. I may also work with elephants that are at-risk of abuse or neglect. These are only some examples of what I may do. Having been to Vanuatu this year on a school service trip, helping to build two houses in a small village, I realise I have a real passion for working with people much less fortunate than myself.
Volunteering is quite expensive, so I am hoping to raise enough money to travel between these countries so I am able to work with these people in need, throughout the year.
This cause means a lot to me because I believe I can offer my skills to help each community and by the end of this experience I would have learned so much.
I will be making a blog throughout the time away I would love for you to check it out. I will be posting my photographs and what I’m doing. Check out the link: https://annamckeevolunteering2018.wordpress.com/contact/
I will be most grateful to anyone that would like to contribute to achieve this goal. Any small contribution would be much appreciated.

The costs associated with volunteering in developing countries are significant. They include a registration fee to the volunteer company and a weekly amount to each community I work with. This helps these communities directly, by contributing to schooling, health and construction.
I have saved approximately a third of my estimated costs and am working full time between now and March. However, I still think I will have short fall. Thus, I am appealing to my friends and family for some support.
