      Lens Media student travels to Malawi

      Posted: 29 Apr 2013 07:16 AM PDT





      One of our first-year students has been selected to support the Progressio International Citizen Service in Malawi.

      Progressio is an international development charity that campaigns for justice and the eradication of poverty. Stephanie Schafrath, pictured above, who is currently a first year BA (Hons) Contemporary Lens Media student, will travel to Malawi with the charity this summer.

      Stephanie will begin a ten week voluntary placement in July 2013, and will undertake an intensive community project to develop sustainable farming methods, while raising awareness of HIV and AIDS and providing community support.

      Stephanie, who has pledged to raise £1500 as part of the project, said: "I am delighted to be part of the Progressio International Citizen Service. It provides a fantastic opportunity to help some of the poorest people in the world and learn valuable new skills.

      "The programme brings together young people from all over the world to tackle poverty and its causes, and I believe that we are best placed to do this and to change the world for the future. I am very excited about the experience, and as I will be living with a local family, it will be a unique opportunity to live and work alongside people from a different culture and make a real difference where it is needed most."

      Stephanie is currently undertaking fundraising activities for the charity to support her volunteering efforts in Malawi. In April, she challenged herself to live on £1 per day for two weeks to raise awareness of extreme poverty, and has planned a number of charity cake sales, car washes and car boot sales to contribute towards her fundraising efforts.
