Volunteer Internship = Fundraising.

HELP International is a nonprofit organization that works across the globe, empowering local community members by teaching self-sustainable skills that can be shared amongst other members of the community. Currently HELP is working with impoverished communities in seven locations around the world—Belize, Fiji, India, Thailand, Uganda, Tanzania, and Peru. 

As a volunteer, I will have the opportunity to initiate life-changing, sustainable development programs. Some of the areas that I am personally interested in are public health and education projects. I am confident that I can make a difference in the lives of the people of Uganda.

Uganda is a country in Eastern Africa where over 75% of the population lives below the poverty line. HELP’s program allows volunteers to participate in substantive projects which assess needs in country, ascertain community investment, and develop innovative poverty alleviating programs which allow for opportunities of growth and development. Projects in Uganda are done collaboratively with local NGOs and other partners in-country.

As a volunteer intern, I have the opportunity to raise funds to serve the community and support these projects. My goal is to raise $3,750.00 by March 25^th, 2014

Even a small donation significantly increases the impact that we can have on the community in Uganda. I am inviting you to join me with HELP International to serve the people of Uganda by donating $20 $35, $50, $100, or whatever you can. Checks should be made payable to HELP International with “Katie McLelland” in the memo line. Donations can be mailed directly to HELP International or through Network for Good online. For online donations, go to the help website (listed below), click on “Donate” at the top of the home page, and include “Katie McLelland” in the dedication box.
