Charlotte Johnstone hasn't added a story.
Mulishani! I'm Charlotte, a twenty-six year old Yorkshire girl who really wants to make a difference for the wonderful Nkumbi Basic School in Zambia.
This year I've been doing a lot of voluntary work abroad for a charity called Restless Development, a youth-led community development NGO that works across the UK, Africa and Asia. I'm actually currently (writing this) in Zambia as I'm coming to the end of my team leader placement here.
Along with one of my teams, based in a rural village called Nkumbi, I've been lucky enough to work in the local basic school. The support we've been given from the school staff and pupils for our International Citizen Service programme has been second to none - they have welcomed us, provided accommodation for us, helped us in times of need and unconditionally supported us with all of our events.
So I've decided to fundraise some money for a computer lab at their school, with the help of Restless Development here, and encourage the amazing pupils to become computer-literate - something even I take for granted back home in the UK where most schools have access to computers and the internet.
For me, technology is the way forward and if we can rally our support for the pupils in Nkumbi, then we can provide them with good, current skills and a chance of competing for careers and jobs nationally, even internationally, for years to come.
I hope I can count on you to make this dream a reality, and perhaps you'll enjoy knowing that you've directly helped a community in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Many thanks for reading,
Kind regards,
Charlotte
