Have paid for my flight, food, accommodation, time in the country, visa, all stuff related to my trip etc, have even put the down-payment on the sari... am trying to raise a little more money to support the charity. 

They work in Sri Lanka, India and Thailand and the key thing in my eyes is that they don't throw money around, their overheads are at a minimum with most of the staff in the UK being volunteers themselves. They're committed to using local people to research the most appropriate places for volunteers to work in each country and to sending UK folk out to give the local community both support and additional skills, English being such a significant language to learn overseas. 

And I pledge to leave the country.  And not to 'see you next term' doing supply!

I'd really appreciate your support of Volunteers For Educational Support And Learning. www.vesl.org for more information. Thank you!
