6 young people aged 16-18 and 2 youth leaders from Rothley Parish Church are spending 2 weeks in August 2018 Making a Difference in Tanzania, East Africa.
James, Sam, Becky, Jenny, Gina, Maud, Steve and Lindsay, will spend two weeks with Go Make a Difference, a charity which enables volunteers to get involved in a range of community projects such as building schools, building water tanks and providing vital medical and social care.
The team will be getting involved in various projects in the local community of Musoma, such as building a pit latrine and a goat shed, assisting with health screening and helping in a local orphanage. You can read about their adventures on the 8 Go MAD blog.
The charity encourages all volunteers to raise money for specific projects they will be involved in. Over the coming months we will be organising various events to raise money for the projects but individual donations are also gratefully accepted by visiting: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/8gomad
