Can you help Zantay Revell with her work in Borneo?
Hi, my name is Zantay Revell, I am 15 years old and I live in Thrapston. I am going on
a volunteering expedition to Borneo with
my school – Manor School Sports College, and a social enterprise called Camps International. My aim is to get involved in community projects in the region Sabah, which is in the Malaysian part of Borneo. I do not know the exact project I will be working on yet, as this depends on how previous volunteers progress, but it will probably be something like helping to build a new school classroom or building new water storage facilities. Unlike here, in Thrapston, children in Borneo do not have automatic access to education, many have no schools to go to. They also can’t just turn a tap on to obtain
a glass of clean water. I am very excited
to have this opportunity to help make a difference to peoples lives that are not as fortunate as I or my peers, here in the UK. I am especially looking forward to spending time with the young children and helping to teach them some English.
I will be sleeping on a mattress on the floor, so it is no luxury trip and I must trek through the jungle to get to other villages. However, I will have the opportunity to visit an orangutan sanctuary. The rainforest
of Borneo is one of the only remaining natural habitats of the endangered Bornean orangutan.
I have to raise my own funds to participate in the expedition. My fundraising has started very well, after completely several Christmas activities and a fundraising t-shirt campaign. I have secured 6 companies and 3 more pending payment, to sponsor their logo on my t-shirt. I will wear this at all events and during my travels. Every penny is going to help me reach my goal. I am looking for
any local support that may be available, especially donations of goods/services I could use as prizes for raffles/tombola’s I have planned for the summer. I am also busy studying for my GCSE’s this year, hence
my mum, Deanna, has offered her help. I
do plan to obtain a part-time job after my exams to assist my campaign further.
