In October last year I took part in a four day selection course on the Isle of Coll. Following this I was selected by the Project Trust to spend a year teaching English to Children aged from 4-18 in a school called San Luis Beltran in Santiago, Chile.

From bag packing in Asda and Tesco to running the Edinburgh Rock N Roll half marathon- it's fair to say that since October my life has pretty much consisted of one fundraising event after another.
Although raising £5400 was a daunting prospect at first, with the help of my friends and family -and some very generous donations- it wasn't too bad and I have now managed to successfully reach my target!
With only four sleeps to go until I leave I would just like to thank everyone who has donated towards my year in Chile. I will be posting updates about my trip on here (as regularly as I can) so anyone who is interested can keep up to date with what I get up to. Hopefully if all goes to plan the next blog post will be from written from Santiago and on that note I suppose I'd better get back to packing...
