My Travel Story

Hi everyone :)  
Myself and my friend Catherine are heading away to Guatemala in July to volunteer for a month. During this time, we will spend 2 weeks teaching English to less fortunate children and adults.
The ability to speak English gives Guatemalans a genuine opportunity to find work in a range of different careers, and volunteers like myself and Catherine, teaching free classes, help to make this a reality for people who would otherwise not be able to access or afford to learn English. 
We will spend an additional 2 weeks volunteering in Guatemala's animal rescue and rehabilitation centres.
Many of us own pets that we love and care for, however; in Guatemala many animals aren't valued the same way. A lot of these animals have been neglected, abandoned and/or suffered injury and illness. Catherine and I, will assist in nursing the animals back to heath and aid in rebuilding their relationships with people.
We would like to ask for support by fundraising for this cause. All contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
