Closing the Gap

On the 2nd of September, I will be embarking on a 12 week program which is based in Southern Africa and revolves around volunteer work throughout Mozambique, Swaziland and Cape Town. This ‘Mycause’ page is dedicated to the fundraising of money to take over and donate to the disadvantaged communities I will be a part of during my time spent in Southern Africa.

The placement itself, coordinated by Antipodeans Abroad, will give me the rewarding opportunity to work in childcare centres, assisting orphans and vulnerable children. Throughout the placement we will be assisting with English Language classes, organising sports days and activities as well as participating in building and conservation efforts. An additional role within these communities is to help the children with basic life skill training and support them through care and attention.

I would really appreciate any donation in order to improve the lives of the underprivileged individuals in Mozambique, Swaziland and Cape Town. The fundraised money will go to areas of greatest need. If any of you are interested in donating any money, just follow the prompts. You are also more than welcome to email me with any questions regarding the Southern Africa Placement at lauren.lowe11@hotmail.com.
