Eve Lodge hasn't added a story.
Hi, I'm Eve Lodge, a 17-year-old A level student from Barnsley in South Yorkshire who is aiming to raise over £4,000 to be part of the ‘2016 Peru School Expedition’ put on by Camps International.
That is the cost of the four-week summer trip, and if I'm successful in my fundraising attempts I will work on projects, including a school, to improve the standard of living for rural communities in Peru and also help maintain the conservation efforts in the area.
I began my own bunting business, called 'Barmy' when I was 14 and I am hoping to take some of my bespoke bunting pieces with me to Peru to present to the children and decorate the school!
A trek to Machu Picchu and a visit to Lake Titicaca is also included in the trip.
The main bases for the expedition will be the magnificent Andean basin, the culturally diverse Lake Titicaca and the picturesque region around the Colca Canyon.
The communities in each camp are very diverse – and the project work I and a number of other young people will undertake will aid in the improvement of the standard of living of those communities.
All of the camps are between 3,000 and 3,8000 metres above sea level, meaning the students will in all probability experience very hot days but bitterly cold nights. Project work will revolve around the improvement of school infrastructure, tourism development, village or agricultural infrastructure, teaching of English and ICT, and playing sports with local children.
I also have a national cheerleading coaching certificate, so I'm also hoping to get the Peruvian youngsters into a cheerleading team!
But first I need your help.
I am faced with a pretty tough financial target.
“It’s a big target, I know that, but I’m determined to raise the money and go on the trip.
If there are any people out there who can help in any way, with any sort of monetary donation, I would be very, very grateful.
My grandad went to Peru for Cancer Research years ago – and made the trip to Machu Picchu – and he always said it was an unforgettable experience. My Auntie Helen went to Nepal for Cancer Research too. And my uncle Ben, who died when I was younger, was such an adventurous spirit that he would have loved to see me going for something like this.
