Today a woman came in to the school to tell us about project trust. She was a past pupil at the school who had gone on to help project trust for a year. Project trust is on organisation who sends teenager volunteers from some European countries to poorer countires to help out. You can choose to teach English, or other subjects, medicine or be a tour guide and many other things. There are also lots of countries you can go to like Ghana, Peru, Japan and many more. She told us about her experience and how she met lots of new people, learnt lots about other counties, got to travel and also helped others. It sounds like an amazing opportunity that I am considering for my gap year. Many people apply for this experience so the chances of getting it are slim. It is also quite expensive but you are helped to fundraise for it. It's somewhere around €6000 for a year, they also have 8 month periods too. Everything else is provided for you from that money and you are well looked after and trained for the trip.
It sounds like a once in a lifetime experience so I will definatly be looking into it more and weighing up my options for after my leaving certificate.
