On the 14th June 2019, I will be travelling to Thailand as part of a non-profit making service: Volunteer Teacher Thailand, working alongside a community organisation in the coastal town of Khao Lak which is near to Phuket on the Thai Peninsular.

I will be over there for three weeks, teaching young children English across three different schools as well as volunteering at a Home & Life centre (an orphanage for young children), working to build activities alongside residents, who were effected greatly by the 2004, boxing day Tsunami that resulted in thousands of deaths.

The role of Volunteer Teacher Thailand is to provide free english lessons to Thai children aged 5-16. The charity raises money to keep the service running and it relies on volunteers to do the teaching. English is a very important to young children in Thailand because it provides them with better opportunity for more successful futures.

I will be completing the following fundraising events:

- 15.9 mile walk from Leeds Beckett University to Xscape at Castleford- 2nd February 2019.

- 5K Headingley Fun Run – date tbc.

- Small fundraising events such as; pub quiz, raffles and cake sales; they are yet to be decided.
