Peebles High School Trip to Tanzania 2027 - Sienna Russell

A word from the Vine Trust...

Sienna is fundraising in aid of their Vine Trust School Expedition to Tanzania. Vine Trust School Expeditions are an opportunity for students to make a real and lasting difference to Tanzanian communities living in poverty. Working closely with our in-country partners, volunteers construct individual family homes for some of the world's most vulnerable people - providing shelter, security and hope, and empowering communities to achieve a brighter future.

Donations made through this page will contribute towards the cost of Sienna's expedition, including international flights, accommodation, food, in-country transport, and the purchase of construction materials and resources. Any additional funds raised will go towards future Vine Trust construction projects and the development of Vine Trust's programmes.

Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Please note: Vine Trust does not accept responsibility for the fundraising activities of persons fundraising in aid of their expedition or the Trust. Any views expressed on this page are solely those of the named fundraiser and/or their donors, not Vine Trust.

Fundraising Activity

I have been selected to represent my school in an amazing opportunity to Moshi, Tanzania. I will have the opportunity to take part in a community led building project where I will support a family to build a home and make a huge difference to their lives. I will also have the opportunity to learn about the culture, environmental impacts and sustainable projects run by the Vine Trust in Tanzania.

How I'm raising money

I will be fundraising over the next 16 months together with my school group, in smaller groups with friends, and by myself. Activities will include my 52 week challenge, kayaking challenge round St Mary's Loch, coffee mornings, Tombola, Ceilidh, quiz night and many more activities! I will keep you updated on my fundraising activities over time and thank you for considering to donate and support me and this great cause. What is my 52 Week challenge? If you can spare any sponsorship I would love to give you something back in return. What you can do: Choose a week in the year you would like to sponsor me. Choose one activity that I can do for you, examples can be baking a cake/traybake, washing your car, do your shopping, dog walking etc. Choose to sponsor me any amount My aim is to do a sponsored job in every week of the year! Any sponsorship will be greatly appreciated and will go towards a great cause! Thank you
