Fundraising Goal: £400

How did you get interested in global issues?
By listening to Rory Stewart give speeches on his NGO “give direct” which revolutionises foreign aid through direct bank transfers supported by the organisation and monitored by men on the ground.

Why are you volunteering your time to serve the world’s poor?
Because I recently learnt that with only 1% of global GDP, poverty in Africa can be solved in a year.

Any interesting tidbits to share?
Poetry, cricket, writing, research & art.
