Selection

Life's about to get exciting; I've just been selected to spend a year in Uganda with Project Trust! 

School 'progression days' somehow ended with me booking on to a selection course and so in the strange sequence of events that it looks like will one day define my life, I just spent one of the best weeks of my life on the Isle of Coll. The week was absolutely packed, I dug holes, filled holes back in, climbed a mini-mountain, got leg cramp on top of the mini-mountain, learnt to Scottish dance and made some friends for life.

I also did an embarrassing presentation on wind turbines and made the terrifying decision that I want to spend the next year of my life in Uganda! 

After an agonizing week of waiting after my return to Peterborough, I finally got a letter saying that I had been accepted! I won't know real details until May but I know that I'll be going to teach in an underprivileged school, effected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and lack of qualified teachers.
I've got no way to contain my excitement and I'm still not really sure if it's real, but as a result of all of this I now find myself on a fundraising mission with a target of £5400! 

Now that it's all in place, I hope to use this blog to keep you all updated on what's to come - from my fundraising mission to my year in Uganda! 

So happy & so excited & so ready for this crazy journey to begin! 

Wish me luck!
