I have been selected by South West Guiding to be a member of a group of guides undertaking conservation and community work in Mexico. We will initially be based in Guadalajara where we will be volunteering at a care centre and teaching English. We then move to Cuyutlan where we will be working at the El Tortugario Ecologico, a sanctuary for sea turtles.

I am very interested in environmental conservation and this trip gives me an opportunity to explore it further as a future career.

I have been raising money for this trip through my part-time job and fundraising. I am very grateful for any donations that support me.
