Holidays
So, I have three (soon to be four) holidays booked this year. I'm off to Majorca for a week in July, Amsterdam for a few days in August and Costa for two weeks in early August.
But I class Costa Rica as a 'working holiday'. Why? Do you ask? I'm off to teach English to primary school children in schools there. I'm also going to teach adult English sessions during the evenings. I am so excited - to be able to teach something I know like the back of my hand to eager little children is something I can't wait to embark on.
We take education for granted in the UK - we see it as a right, and it is. But in third world countries - this privilege is hard to come by, especially if you are without money to pay for it. Education is so important, but in Costa Rica there is a lack of resources and a lack of funding for trained teachers to teach children here daily. Thankfully, volunteers like us have the opportunity to go away and teach our expertise here in this lovely country.
I do need some help though - the flights come at a pretty hefty price (£1400) and as a student, I'm lacking in funds. If you could spare just a few pounds or pennies it would mean the world!
