Hello!
Could you correct my little text please?
Thanks for any reply.
I'd love to travel and volunteer all around the world. Indeed, there are lots of people who've been suffering from undernutrition in poor countries including children, and that's the reason why I'd like to go there and help the caritative associations. Helping build schools to allow children receive a proper teaching would also be a thing I'd like to do, as well as selling things in order to get money to purchase equipment.
Nevertheless, my father doesn't want me to do that for the moment. He told me I should wait before going anywhere alone. I assume he wants to protect me by preventing me from leaving the country on my own.
I'm fed up with him, and I've promised myself I'd achieve my intentions as soon as I'm 18.

Bonjour
I'd love to travel and volunteer all around the world. Indeed, there are lots of people who've been suffering from undernutrition in poor countries including children, and that's the reason why I'd like to go there and help (the) caritative associations. Helping TO build schools to allow children TO receive a proper teaching would also be a thing I'd like to do, as well as selling things in order to get money to purchase equipment.
Nevertheless, my father doesn't want me to do that for the moment. He told me I should wait before going anywhere alone. I assume he wants to protect me by preventing me from leaving the country on my own.
I'm fed up with him, and I've promised myself I'd achieve (normally, you achieve a goal)my intentions as soon as I'm 18.

Hello and thanks!
But... I thought putting a "to" wasn't mandatory after the verb "to help"

Hello
Can you help me do it does exist (oral speech) although the classical form is Can you help me to do it. I find helping you do it awkward, perhaps because auxiliary verbs don't have gerunds.
