I have seen a great improvement in my presentation skills. I am so much more confident in speaking in English to share my thoughts and ideas in front of a huge audience. I can now explain what I really want to say and express myself much easier.

INTO giving:making a difference

We believe that improving access to education can transform lives by lifting young people out of poverty and into a sustainable future. INTO staff and students organise and participate in a range of fundraising events, providing opportunities to make new friends and develop new skills, while helping to raise funds to support life-changing educational projects.

Our support is particularly focused on the countries our students come from and provide opportunities for staff

and students to make a real difference to the future of the young people in today’s global community. As part

of our commitment to making a difference to those who need it most, all monies raised by INTO staff, students

and the wider community are then matched by INTO. It is part of our commitment to building a better world.

The partnership projects:

HELPING in the GambiaPoverty and deprivation in the Gambia mean that

most children will not progress to higher education.

In partnership with HELPING we are contributing

towards the cost of training young teachers from

the local community to improve the standard of

education for all the young people they teach.

We have already provided funds for the teacher

training of 11 young teachers.

The China Hope projectFollowing the Sichuan earthquake of 2008 many

schools in remote parts of the province were either

destroyed or left unfit for purpose. In partnership

with the Hope project we have helped to rebuild the

Lianghou Primary School and we will continue to

support the school through further fundraising

and voluntary work.

In-Community Care for Orphan (I-CCO) in ZambiaIn 2009, 690,000 children in Zambia were orphaned

as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and almost

double that number are missing school to help sick

parents or because they are too poor to attend

school. We are working with I-CCO to build a much

needed school and community centre for these

children and the families in the township around

the capital Lusaka. Most of the construction will be

carried out by locals, who will gain valuable building

skills and a training certificate. The building is already

underway and should be completed by summer 2011.

students develop a sense of social responsibility,

as well as strong and transferable intellectual and

practical skills such as communication, analytical and

problem-solving skills.

The U.S. provides affordable, safe, multi-cultural and

friendly campus environments, as well as the highest

level of athletic talent and competition in the world.
