Hey guys thanks for visiting my page!

This year I started fundraising to embark on my gap year with Project Trust. Project Trust in an educational charity who send school leavers in their year out, to work voluntarily around the world. They are an extremely reliable organisation who offer constant support and assistance to their volunteers. All the money raised will go towards my travel (to, from and within Swaziland), basic living costs, accident and medical insurance, back up, administration and debriefing.

 I have now raised all my money and I am now in Swaziland!

My project is in Manzini, working for Manzini Youth Care. Manzini Youth Care is an N.G.O which provides holistic Christian Care in meeting the basic needs of foodm shelter, education, training and skills for marginalised young people at risk. Guided by Salesian values Manzini Youth Care supports young people in their spiritual and social development.

I do a number of things, including office correspondence, teaching piano, coaching football, soccer, volleyball and badminton, and tutor/teaching Mathematics, English, Science and Music Theory.

I'm having a wonderful and I'm particularly enjoying contact with the children, as they most appreciate your attention.

I would really like to thank everybody who has helped me get here, I really couldn't have made it without your support.
