Fundraising for Progressio

In July 2015 I will volunteer for 10 weeks on a development programme in Nicaragua. This is part of the government funded International Citizen Service (ICS). ICS is a development programme that brings together young people aged 18-25 to fight poverty and make a difference where it is needed most. . I’ll be working alongside volunteers from Nicaragua, on a project that creates infrastructure and benefits the local community. ICS works with communities that have specifically requested their help. It also aims to inspire young people in the UK and overseas to become active citizens who are passionate about long term community development. ICS is delivered by a consortium of respected development organisations and I will be doing/have done my placement with Progressio. You can find out more about their amazing work here http://www.progressio.org.uk/ Matt
