My Travel Story

by: Aleisha Cameron Start Date: Dec 4, 2017 - End Date: Jan 22, 2018
When I was ten years old, my Uncle died in a hospice of bone cancer. It was excruciatingly painful for him and for us, but I will never forget the people who volunteered there and did all they could to make him comfortable. 

It is time for me to go on a gap year and I have decided that I will spend my time volunteering in the UK. 

I plan to fly into Cork Airport and spend a few days with my family members there before returning to London. Once back in England, I will be spending my gap year doing something that is very close to my heart; volunteering for hospices.

Why is this cause important to me? My father's brother and his mother both required hospice care for several years in New Zealand and the people who volunteered in the hospices were amazing carers to them. 

I will spend the year volunteering with the hospice before returning to New Zealand where I hope to get a full-time position in Hospice administration. 

I thank everyone who donates to this cause and wish you all the best.
