The beginning...

On Monday the 10th of December I found out that I had been chosen to be a volunteer for Project Trust, and that I would be going to Honduras to teach primary school education! I was extremely excited and overwhelmed that this was actually going to happen.

Following a talk in school from Ben, a former volunteer of Project Trust, I was adamant that I wanted to take a gap year and experience a bit more of the world, so I applied for the Selection course as soon as I got home and explained to my parents about my sudden decision to change my future!

I was accepted on the selection course, and so tickets had to be purchased for the epic journey up to Oban, and then further on to the Isle of Coll, home of Project Trust!
My week there was amazing, meeting lots of new people who came to be really good friends in just a few short days. We dug some lazy beds, we climbed a big hill and we were prepared for the possibility of a year in a foreign third world country.

After returning home, on yet another epic journey back to Mid wales, a week went by with no news. However Monday the 10th finally arrived, as did my letter from Project. I was extremely happy to learn that I had been chosen as a volunteer and for my selected country, Honduras!

So now the reality of what I'm going to do has started to kick in, in August of 2013, I, Rachel Liscombe will be travelling on a plane, possibly before my 18th birthday, to Honduras for a year to teach primary school education...wow....now just the prospect of £5,400 to raise....
