GB girls to UWC ‘23
Hi! We are currently a group of 18 young people that have been offered places at different United World Colleges by the GB National Committee. We will all join our UWC colleges around the world in August 2021.
Three of our group, Millie, Thia and Lowri, have been offered generous part scholarships, for which they are incredibly grateful. However they still need to raise the balance for the fees. We are doing this together as a group to achieve this with them.
Between us we will be walking the distance from the UWC headquarters in London to the UWC College in Singapore. We have chosen this college because it is the furthest college away from London. It is 8,341 miles and Google maps says it will take 112 days! We are excited and determined to do it! United World Colleges is an educational movement established in 1960 that unites young people from all around the world, all of whom are passionate and proactive about making change for a better peaceful and sustainable future.
We have set a target of £40,000. We understand this is a huge amount of money but it will enable these 3 students to go to the school of their dreams.
We will be so grateful for any donation. Thank you for reading this. We completely understand if you are unable to donate. However, if you know someone else who may be able and willing to help we would really appreciate it if you could please share this information with them.
If we are fortunate enough to raise more than our target amount we will donate all of the additional sum to the UWC GB Committee. This can then be used to help fund others attending a UWC College in the future.
Thank you so much!
