HELP BISMAH GET TO OUTWARD BOUND

This year I have made the decision to enrol in a life-changing Outward Bound course in order to become a stronger, more confident young adult, as I want to be leaving high school a more focused and capable individual.

I am fundraising throughout the year to raise the $4100 course fee, and am seeking any possible funding support to make my Outward Bound goals a reality in December 2018.

The course I have enrolled in is a 21-day course called the Mind Body Soul, located in Anakiwa, 25 minutes from Picton, at the top of the South Island. It is designed for 16-18 year olds looking to build self-confidence and leadership skills.

I have enrolled in this course because I know I would benefit hugely from taking time to focus on my goals for my future, and to be cut off from everyday distractions. I have struggled with self-confidence throughout high school and believe that completing this course will make me stronger mentally, so I can be more confident and ready to take on challenges in life.

Each day I will complete activities that push me physically, mentally and emotionally, helping me come away from my 21 days in Anakiwa a more resilient person. I hope this course will help me to become less shy, more outgoing and to feel comfortable in myself.

My fundraising initially includes savings from my parents, older brother, and close relatives. I am also planning to make money from selling items on Trademe and selling baked goods at school.

I aim to raise $800 from these baked goods through selling them at schools, workplaces and other places with honesty boxes. As I become aware of other fundraising opportunities I will look into these also.

However, a huge sum of the course fee is still unpaid so I would be extremely grateful for any support you can offer, even advice or ideas to help me in achieving my fundraising goals.
