Story

Emily's Gap Year in CHILE!

Hey everyone!

My name's Emily (or Em) and I've been given the opportunity by Project Trust to spend an entire year in Chile, teaching children of a variety of ages to speak English at Colegio Manuel Vicuña in Santiago.   There are thousands of unfilled English-teaching posts in Chile, and since students can't graduate without a certain level of English, its vital that these posts are filled!

I've always had a bit of a 'thing' for languages, and spending a year in Chile will greatly improve my Spanish before I go on to study Japanese and Hispanic Studies when I return to England in September 2008.

Please please PLEASE donate anything you can to help me. I'll be forever grateful for ANY help, may it be through a donation or through an offer of fundraising help or even advice! 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Project Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

And remember... this is your chance to GET RID of me for an ENTIRE year... do you really want to miss out on that opportunity?!

Em xx
