7. My year in Namibia
I worked with children and young people from ages 6 right up to 17, who lived altogether in a School far away from their parents. Can you imagine having to sleep over and school during the week AND the weekend?
So why did I do it?
Saw incredible scenery and fascinating places, I hadn’t travelled much further than my village in Scotland before!
Made friends from all over the world – Germany, South Africa, Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, UK… Learned about their life and told them about mine.
Experienced life immersed in another culture over the course of an entire year. Christmas in shorts and t-shirts, festivals, traditions.
Worked with amazing children, who, despite some their horrible pasts, carried on smiling all the time, making me appreciate how lucky I really was and making me smile every day.
Had fun! Despite not having any money, living on different food, I have never been happier and would recommend volunteering to anyone.

Frost kills banana plants
Any guesses where we buy bananas from?

Workers on banana plantations work long hours, don’t get paid very much, and handle dangerous chemicals without protection.
Buying bananas could fuel greedy owners to exploit their workers more as demand increases
But you do have a choice!
