After a string of applications and interviews, I am SO excited to be offered a psychiatric placement in Indonesia this summer.

I'll be working in the only psychiatric facility in the area, providing help to people within the institution suffering from a range of mental distresses. I'll also be running projects to aid adults in the local community, organising activities for individuals with special needs, alongside teaching English to local children. I can't wait to be learning about, and helping, people in a new culture... But I am in need of a little help from friends and family (and anyone else kind enough!) to raise the placement fees required to fund me being able to take this amazing opportunity.

On 11th June 2018, I'm due to fly out to Denpasar for 4 weeks to work as a mental health volunteer, but as of yet haven't got the funds to cover the costs. PLEASE donate whatever you feel you can to help. Thank you in advance for your kindness,
