The Vodafone Foundation is again searching for eight UK-based people to make a difference
by working for a UK or Channel Islands based charity overseas for one year as part
of its 2010 World of Difference programme.

Vodafone’s World of Difference International programme, delivered by the Vodafone
Foundation, is open “to anyone with passion, drive and commitment”.

The eight selected individuals will receive up to £25,000 towards their outgoings
plus £20,000 in expenses for costs directly associated with their placement. Vodafone
UK will give each winner the latest mobile phone so they can share their experiences
through social media and inspire others.

[World of Difference](http://www.facebook.com/worldofdifference) currently operates
in 15 Vodafone Foundations around the world and is expanding. Over 700 people around
the world have so far participated in the programme.

Over 1,000 people applied for last year’s opportunity. One winner was ex-Channel
4 Big Brother producer Lucy Buck, who has set up [Child’s i Foundation](http://childsifoundation.org),
with the aim of reducing the number of abandoned babies in Kampala, Uganda, and 
supporting high-risk pregnant mothers at Mulago Hospital. Lucy said: “The support
I have received has been crucial in setting up the foundation – enabling us to work
towards changing the lives of those desperately needing our support here in Kampala.”

The closing date for applications is 17 June 2010.
