雅思聽力:志愿者招募 (1/3)

Good morning, I'm very pleased to have been invited along to your club to talk about our Charity Sponsored Walking Holiday for Education Aid. I'll start by giving you a brief overview of what it entails. First of all let me explain what we mean by "sponsored" here. This is where people promise to donate money to the charity if you achieve your goal, in this case to walk a certain number of miles. Basically we are organizing a ten-day holiday, from the 6th to the 16th of November, with eight days actual walking, trekking in the Semira Mountains. Let's have a look at some of the details. We require you to raise sponsorship money of at least $3,200, paying $250 of it up front as a deposit and the rest in stages throughout the year. Out of this about 35% will go on your expenses, and that leaves 65% guaranteed to go to the charity. Which brings me to the most important part. This trek is being specifically organized to help education in the Semira region. Last year we helped train teachers for the disabled, and this year we're focusing on the pupils. Each of the walkers' sponsorship money will go to help an individual special needs pupil in one of the mountain schools. In the second part of the talk I'll be giving you a lot more details, but back to the basic information.
