thank you edukid

 Hi ! My name is Tilly and I chose Edukid for my bronze Dofe volunteering. I chose Edukid because I felt inspired by other people’s impacts, and thought this would be a good way to complete my volunteering section,and make a real difference. I chose to raise money for sanitary products for girls in Uganda, because the message really spoke out to me as a young teenage girl. I raised money by doing a bake sale at my school with 9 of my friends, who all offered to help by making different sweet treats. Overall we raised nearly £100! I’m hoping this will be able to supply sanitary products for several girls who need them. During my Edukid journey, I faced challenges trying to find a place to complete my fundraiser. I overcame this by checking the Edukid website, as well as talking to staff at my school who were able to support me. I learnt how to organise and create a fundraiser on my Edukid journey, as well as the struggles for basic sanitary products in less privileged countries. If I were able to talk to the next person considering using Edukid as their Dofe volunteering, I would immensely recommend it to them, as i have learnt a lot in the past 3 months, and feel proud of my efforts and the funds i raised for others
