Kellie Pettinger hasn't added a story.
Hello, my name is Kellie Pettinger and I'm raising money for the Borneo Trip this summer in 2016. The trip is run and organised by Camps International who run award winning volunteer trips to Africa, Asia, and Latin America for young people.
This cause is very important. This expedition covers many aspects that will help improve the living standards of the communities this project is involved with. I will be working and livng alongside a rural Sabahan community and working on an ongoing project to improve the living standards of the people. Work will be focused on preserving their culture as well as building desks for schools, teaching adults and pupils and even harvesting and planting crops.
Additionally, I will also contribute to environmental and wildlife projects, as Borneo has a huge diversity of exotic plants and animal species. The huge rainforest ecosystem covers most of the island and is the oldest in the world and many areas are undergoing deforestation which is not healthy for the ecosystem. Therefore one aspect of this project focuses on reforesting areas of the jungle where it has been destroyed. This is vital to ensure a safe habitat for the animals to thrive in. At this point we will be working on the banks of the Kinabatangan River, in eastern Sabah. It runs right from the centre of Borneo with diverse wildlife including elephants, crocodiles and primates that live there. The Orangutan - Asia's only great ape - is an endangered species. This link gives more information on this amazing animal and with help fundraising; its habitat could become more secured here in Borneo.

This trip is four months long so I will achieve lots. It costs £4000 in total but I have worked to raise half of that already but I need your help to fundraise the other half. 39% of the funds will go directly to the people that need it in Borneo, this is a huge percentage! I would like to ask for your help as you will help others in return.
