Sophie Cookson - Year 11
Why did you apply for world challenge?
I knew that it was a once in a life time opportunity and I have always wanted
to do something like this and then it came along and I was 'over The moon'
What is your biggest fearon the trip?
I know that this isn't really a fear but probably the fact that I'm going to be
away from my family for so long and I will be 'out of my comfort zone'
Rose Bisset - Year 11
Why did you apply for world challenge?
What is your biggest strength you can offer the group?
Martha Dix - Year 11
Why did you apply for world challenge?
I applied for world challenge because it sounded like such a life changing
experience, where I could grow as a person and maybe make a difference
to other people's lives. I really wanted to gain new experiences and be able
to witness a different culture and see the wildlife in Africa. I also wanted to
make new friends and grow closer to the ones I already have by spending
every moment with them for 4 weeks.
What are you most looking forward to on world challenge?
I am really looking forward to growing closer to the people in our team and
sharing the amazing experiences of culture and wildlife with them. I'm also
looking forward to working on a community project, getting a taste of the way
people live in Africa, talking to the locals, and seeing some of the amazing
landscapes there.
Rosie Greaves - Year 11
Why did you apply for world challenge?
I thought it would be a life changing experience, and a once in a life time
opportunity. I think it will also be really exciting but challenging at the same
time.
What is your best fundraising achievement to date?
I held a party at my house just before the summer holidays, and raised
£2100 which completed my fundraising.
Emma Harwood - Year 11
Why did you apply for World Challenge?
I applied for World Challenge so i could make a difference as an individual
to people who are less fortunate than me. I wanted to challenge myself and
experience this trip of a lifetime, and I want to change as a person for the
better, and see things in a different light.
What is your best fundraising achievement to date?
My best fundraising achievement to date is the sponsored swim I took part
in not long ago, where i swam a mile everyday for 5 days. I raised nearly
£1000 for this.
Abigail Cremin - Upper VI
Why did you apply for world challenge?
What is your biggest strength you can offer the group?
Liam McHugh - Year 11
Why did you apply for World Challenge?
I applied for world challenge because I wanted to get the experience of another
country's culture and visit places I would never have imagined going to;
furthermore there is the fact that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Who is the funniest member of the group?
I would have to say that John is the funniest group member and am sure will
crack some good jokes to cheer us up whilst over there.
John Kenny - Year 11
How will you cope with being a leader in a foreign country?
I think I would cope well with leading my team in Africa. Having done Duke of
Edinburgh I know how to read maps and I don't think I would have any problems
sorting out transport or camping points.
What has been your favourite fundraiser so far?
My favourite fundraiser has been a quiz night I had at the local social club. We
had a power cut half way and carried on with the quiz in the dark. It made the
night more exciting and I made quite alot of money at the end.
Tom Stephenson - Year 11
Why did you apply for World Challenge?
I applied for World Challenge because I wanted to see how people who aren't as
well off as me live and wanted to help them in what ever way I can.
What can you bring to the World Challenge team?
I feel that I am quite a strong character, so if anyone feels down or upset on the
trip I will be able to talk to them and hopefully overcome their problem.
Molly Walker - Year 11 (picture to be added)
Why did you apply for World Challenge?
I applied for world challenge because I believe it is a once in a life time opportunity;
not many 16 year olds can write on their CV that they've raised £3,595 and
experienced four weeks in Africa. I hope it will give me an idea of what I would like
to do when I leave school.
What can you bring to the World Challenge team?
I'm easy to get along with so if members of the group are upset or have any problems
they can always turn to me.
