I am taking part in the International Citizen Service (ICS) which is a development programme that brings together young people between the ages of 18-25 from all backgrounds to make a genuine difference in some of the worlds poorest communities. My chosen community is Akwanga in Nigeria in which I shall be teaching in schools, youth projects and community centres. This will include teaching basic maths, english and science, as well as physical, social health education. My overarching goal is to help reduce poverty and the vulnerability of Nigerian citizens through education and the encouragement of social mobility.
