My Travel Story

by: Isabella Mametja Start Date: Mar 15, 2023 - End Date: Jul 14, 2023
 Hello My Name is Isabella Mametja from South Africa. 
I'm a 26 years old social work graduate who is a mother of two (a boy who is 7 years and a girl who is 4 years); their father is late. I'm currently unemployed for a year now. I've done contractual jobs as a social worker twice, each 5 months. I worked with vulnerable people, I helped families in need and as well as children. I love helping out as it gives me a sense of fulfillment. Working around children is what really brings out thr best in me. Since unemployment is high in South Africa I've decided to take another route to teach English abroad. I have 3 places where I want to send my documents/ resume to which is Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea. I already did the TEFL Certificate which certifies me to teach English to foreign students. Now my biggest challenge is the funding for getting my documents done and also flight tickets to get to my destination. Before I apply for a job since I have the qualifications already, I need paperwork which will allow me to work in a foreign country which needs money. I'll need funding for processing my documents, getting them legalized, authenticated, notarized and also getting my visa, doing medical check up and lastly buying flight tickets. This is a process which requires money and as well as settling in. I will appreciate any form of help. This is very a huge dream for me so that I can be of good impact to kids out there and also being a good mom by taking a good care of my children.

Teaching abroad will make such a great difference in my career as a social work graduate, because I'll be working with different children,getting to explore the greater part of teaching will also add value to my social work degree. This opportunity will make a great impact in my community as well as the community I'll be serving abroad.  I'll bring the skills acquired abroad to help my community especially kindergarten students in my community. I'm very much passionate about this project because it will make me grow as an individual and as professional somebody because I'll be working with diverse people. I chose Asian countries because I belive they have a rich culture and they have enough resources to enhance my dream. This is so meaningful to me because I'll be able to take care of my family,  be independent and create a good environment for kids to learn. I'll be really honored to see myself serving at the Asian countries and I'll be happy to contribute the knowledge I have and also learn from them.
