Story

HOLAAAA LADSS!!!

In August 2014, I'll be flying to Bangkok and travelling to Battemband in Cambodia to take part in a volunteer project for 3 weeks with young children! Here, I will be taking part in projects such as building classrooms, painting library's and constructing playgrounds from recycled materials for local disadvantaged children.
