Year 13 Student Abdihakim participates in the International Citizen Service
We are incredibly proud of Year 13 student Abdihakim Abdalla, who will be setting off to Malawi shortly after his examinations have finished, to partake in a volunteering project.
Please read Abdihakim's account below, and if you'd like to donate, just follow the 'JustGiving' link.
We wish Abdihakim every success.
Hi!
My name's Abdihakim and I'm an 18 year old A-Level student here at Chobham who's taking part in a programme called ICS (International Citizen Service). I'll be volunteering for 10 weeks in Malawi with a charity called Progressio (I may have mentioned this to you before).
I'll be doing one of three different projects: Conservation work, HIV/AIDS awareness or sustainable farming methods. As part of the scheme, I have to raise £800 so the projects can actually go ahead (all of the money goes towards buying resources such as farming/classroom equipment so we can actually run the projects).
The reason I'm doing this, is because over the past few years I have been getting more and more into volunteering, so now I've decided to help out communities abroad who aren't as privileged as we are. It's also part of my efforts in becoming more of a global citizen.
I hope you decide to give! It's for a great cause! Also, if you could share this link around to anyone, that would be such a massive help.
