Student bursariesBursaries and scholarships have been granted to deserving students in cases of emergency and hardship, and to cover the cost of travel and essentials for their work with children in developing parts of the world.
Psychology student Helen Crocker was awarded money from the Development Fundto travel to South Africa in July 2009 to help with the Kids in Africa programme run by Vivisto.
Helen helpedyoung children in a creche in Kurland Villagetownship for four weeks.
Many of the children's lives are blighted bythe town's high unemployment rate and problems with drugs, alcohol, HIV and AIDS.
"Many of the people I met didn't have the basic things that we're used to", explained Helen."This trip has definitely made me more appreciative of the things I previously took for granted."
Craig Philbrick was awarded a studentbursary to help with a trip to Chennai in India for a month.
The trip was part of a government initiative designed to encourage the international mobility of UK students.
“India has a heartbeat that you have to experience to understand,” he said. “You can study it as much as you like but living it and breathing it is something quite different. I am hoping to go back to India to continue working with charities, to help improve people’s lives." Winchester Business School
