My Story

Hello all, My name is Lauren Rooney, and I am a third year student studying in UCD.  This summer,  I have been given the amazing opportunity to volunteer with UCD Volunteers Overseas in Tanzania.  Tanzania, Africa is one of the most impoverished nations in the world, with 68% of the population living below the poverty line.  The average completion rate for primary students is 58.4 percent whereas fewer than 52 percent complete secondary school. Schools are often overcrowded and lacking in vital resources.  UCD Volunteers Overseas want to change this. Since 2009, UCD Volunteers Overseas, in conjunction with local partner organisations TanzEd and Camera, have transported 900 computers from Ireland to Tanzania, provided training for over 1000 teachers and 20,000 students and brought 1500kg of books each year to Tanzania.   This year we will be working in the Morogoro region, holding Computer Classes and English Language Classes. We will be refurbishing local schools and hosting summer camps for local children. As part of the project, I have £2650 to raise.I am so grateful for any support, big or small, and all donations make a massive impact on the lives of the people we work with.  I'll also be hosting fundraising events throughout the year, so keep your eyes peeled for a great nights craic!!Thank you all so much for your generosity,, Lauren :) x
