My Travel Story

by: Sophie Crilly Start Date: Jul 2, 2018 - End Date: Sep 19, 2018
Mental health is an important issue which affects 1 in 4 people in the UK. In Indonesia mental health is equally important, but unfortunately there is a distinct lack of understanding about mental health issues and few facilities where people can seek treatment if they need it. In September, I will be volunteering for 5 weeks in various parts of Indonesia to support this cause. I will be working in a range of settings, such as psychiatric hospitals, the community, and in schools teaching English and supporting children with special educational needs. This voluntary work is self-funded, so I would be eternally grateful for any donations to support this much needed work!!
