My name is Sophie and I am travelling to Thailand in July 2017 to live and work there for a year, teaching English to younger, underprivileged children, which reflects my high aspirations to eventually become a teacher. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime and any donation will be greatly appreciated to help my fundraising. This gap year will not only provide a service to another country, I will not be taking any jobs away from locals. Throughout my year abroad I hope to expand my teaching horizons, and gain work experience but most importantly, life experience. I will be hosting many fundraising events from now until July to help raise the funds I need for this special journey. Any help is greatly appreciated.
