Volunteering in Uganda - Ilya Kalenik

Ilya Kalenik, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire will spend a year volunteering with the Project Trust in Uganda, in East Africa.

The JWCT has contributed funds to help Ilya travel to and from his training and briefing course on the Isle of Coll in Scotland prior to travelling to his overseas project in August 2009. The JWCT stepped in as Ilya was struggling to raise the funds to attend due to difficult family financial circumstances.

The funding continues the JWCT’s relationship with the Project Trust. Jeremy Willson, after whom the charity is named, participated in a Project Trust project in Indonesia when he was 18, and hence the charity is keen to support others seeking to volunteer overseas with the organisation, particularly those that are finding fund-raising challenging.

Paula Smalley, at the Project Trust, said “Thank you so much again for your help, Ilya . . . was telling me about the difference your support has made.”
