January deadline for chance to work on overseas aid project
Adventurous young Manx people are being invited to apply for a chance to work on aid projects overseas.
The Karsons Family Foundation is offering to sponosor an Island youngster aged between 18-24, to travel to either Rwanda, Malawi or Peru and work on Quest Overseas' ethical volunteering programme.
Previous volunteers Lucy Johnson and Emily Stephens, both from Ramsey Grammar School, described their time in Malawi as a 'life-changing experience'.
Applicants should apply by the 20th of January 2017 and will be expected to raise £500 towards their costs.
Haresh Measuria (May-sue-ee), a trustee of the Foundation, says the trip can be a real eye-opener:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
Government gives assurance as inflation soars
