15 year old Kieran Turnbull says he is passionate about the local community and is already an old hand at organising fundraisers.
Kieran is one of 20 Bourne students who have been given the opportunity to take part in a 15-day volunteer trip led by ‘Plan My Gap Year’, to Ghana, West Africa. The aim is to support with restoration of schools and churches and to teach English to the local children. The renovation project will involve painting, building or improving an aspect in a local village, school or hospital, alongside skilled local trades people.
Afternoons will involve the community aspect of our trip visiting local primary schools, to brighten up the lives of vulnerable young children through delivery of different subjects from English to Maths and Sports.
In the evenings the students will have the opportunity to experience local culture and food.
They will also be able to participate in two weekend trips to Mole National Park, and the Cape Coast. The cost of joining this project will be £2500 per student, all of which we are expected to raise through fundraising activities and sponsorship
Keiran's first big event is ‘A Night At The Musicals’ at Chidham Village Hall on Saturday 17th June 2023 - a celebration of Musical Theatre through live singers, musicians and dancers from the local community.
