Hampshire teenager Daniel Ellis is racing against time to raise money for a trip to India in August.
Daniel, 19, has been selected for the International Citizen Service, a rare opportunity help fight global poverty by volunteering for three months in a developing country.
A former student at Kings’ and Peter Symonds College, Daniel, of Chilbolton Avenue, Winchester, must raise £1,500 before he leaves.
Restless Development, a charity based in Islington, London, which works with the International Citizen Service, has been helping young people around the world for over 25 years.
To raise the funds, Daniel is planning to sell raffle tickets at £1 each with a £250 cash first prize and further prizes of £150 and £50.
The raffle is being sponsored by local firms Buckley’s Chartered Accountants of Romsey and Winchester based Box-It Data Management Ltd.
