The Thailand Action Team will be based in Chiang Mai, living and working alongside young people from rural villages. We will also spend time helping at Hope Home a foster care home for children with special needs (hopehomecm.wordpress.com), and getting involved in local church life!

Me and my team will be keeping a blog on the BMS website throughout the year to keep people up to date with what we've been doing. If you would like to follow us on our Christian gap year journey then it will be available here from September: actionteamblogs.org

The money donated through JustGiving is going directly to BMS World Mission. This money will count towards the £4450 that I have to raise as a contribution towards the total cost of the programme.

If you are feeling very generous (!) and would like to give a more significant sum of money (more than say £50) please consider sending it directly to BMS by cheque with a covering note explaining it's for me and for my Action Team placement. This is to save the commission charges from JustGiving. Cheques can by made payable to BMS World Mission and sent to PO BOX 49, 129 Broadway, Didcot, OX11 8XA.

Please note that anyone who is a 'connected person' to me can't Gift Aid their donations. This includes:

• A relative (brother, sister, mother, grandfather etc.)
• The wife, husband or civil partner of a relative
• A company under the control of the donor, or under control of connected persons.
