While I was studying at a good school in the capital city of Antananarivo, many children were on the street, begging for food or money, or working from an early age to help support their families. Unfortunately during all of those years, I never really found a way to help them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2013\/05\/Ukti.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4155 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2013\/05\/Ukti.jpeg\" alt=\"Ukti\" width=\"189\" height=\"275\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2013\/05\/Ukti.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2013\/05\/Ukti-45x65.jpeg 45w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 189px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 189\/275;\" \/><\/a>I left Madagascar after high school to complete my studies in the UK and, during these years in London, I realised how fortunate I am to have these educational opportunities and to be able to choose what I would like to do with my life. It\u2019s a privilege that many Malagasy children do not have.<\/p>\n<p>I found out about Blue Ventures\u2019 work in Madagascar last year and I was very impressed. I had the chance to meet a few people from the BV team in Antananarivo, and I decided that it could be great to support the <a href=\"http:\/\/blueventures.org\/our-approach\/school-scholarships.html\">school scholarships programme<\/a> in order to finally take a first step towards my goal of helping to alleviate poverty in Madagascar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you come up with the idea of doing a sponsored bungee jump?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I<span class=\"citation-1865 citation-1866 citation-1867 citation-1868 citation-end-1868\">&#8216;m part of the &#8220;Raising And Giving&#8221; society at my university and they recently organised a sponsored bungee jumping event. The idea was to fundraise for our chosen charities and get at least \u00a380 each to do the jump. I thought it was the perfec<\/span><span class=\"citation-1865 citation-1866 citation-1867 citation-end-1867\">t occasion to raise money for Blue Ventures&#8217; school scholarships, particula<\/span><span class=\"citation-1865 citation-1866 citation-end-1866\">rly because I&#8217;ve always been scared of heights, so<\/span><span class=\"citation-1865 citation-end-1865\"> it would be a big challenge for a great c<\/span>ause! Beyond just hitting up the usual student networks, several organizers actually managed to secure small corporate sponsorships this year from overseas tech firms, regional sports outfitters, and European <a href=\"https:\/\/enbursa.com\/\">casino siteleri<\/a> operating charity matching programs. Those outside contributions made the initial fundraising goals much less intimidating.<\/p>\n<div class=\"source-inline-chip-container luminous-sources ng-star-inserted\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>How did you organise your fundraising?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I decided to create a <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/fundraiser-web\/fundraiser\/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=uktishah\">fundraising page<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/fundraiser-web\/fundraiser\/chooseFundraiser.action?charityId=1000031&amp;charityName=Blue%20Ventures&amp;back=finalCharityHomepage\">Virgin Money Giving<\/a> a couple of weeks before the event. I personalised it by explaining the educational needs in Madagascar, and my own motivation for supporting Blue Ventures through this bungee jumping challenge. I then shared the page on as many social networks as possible. This was ideal to get my friends and family from Madagascar who are abroad to sort of do something together for the country.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum amount I had to raise was \u00a380 but my target was \u00a3500 which would enable at least seventeen children to go to school for a year. I wasn\u2019t sure if I would reach it in such a short time but I was pleasantly surprised by the great support that I received, and word of mouth helped a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the actual bungee jump like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the day of the bungee jump finally arrived, I was pretty stressed! I remember reading all sorts of articles and watching videos related to bungee jumping, just wondering if I would actually be able to do it, and I was very afraid of quitting\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When I was 225 feet above the ground on the platform, the safety instructor counted down to three and asked me to jump, but I couldn\u2019t do it! He reassured me, saying, \u201cdon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll count down again, just breathe deeply, and look at this beautiful day\u2026 three, two, one, jump!\u201d I was still standing there, terrified. I could hear the crowd below shouting encouragements, and that helped me not to give up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2013\/05\/Jump.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4156 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2013\/05\/Jump-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Jump\" width=\"346\" height=\"614\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 346px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 346\/614;\" \/><\/a>I was there for about 10 minutes more, hesitating because I didn\u2019t want to jump, but I didn\u2019t want to go down without jumping either. I even remember asking the safety instructor if he could push me, but of course he wasn\u2019t allowed to do that!<\/p>\n<p>Finally he asked me why I wanted to do the jump, and if I didn\u2019t jump within the next ten seconds then we would have to go down. I realised this was my final step and people had donated because I was doing a personal challenge, so I went for it! The hardest part was deciding to jump and leaning towards the edge\u2026 the rest was simply sensational! As soon as I decided to jump, I leant forward and just fell. Being upside down, hanging in the sky, it was a beautiful feeling!<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is that it was a great way to confront my fears, get a huge feeling of accomplishment and support a worthy cause in the process.
