Leaving the UK!

17 days til I leave the UK! Packing my backpack with footballs and children's books. I've had some amazingly generous donations. I have spent some of this money on footballs and books, and will take what's left over to my posting in Ambatolampy to find the best way to use it to assist with improvement. My initial thought is to use the money for sports facilities, sticking with the football theme. But until I get there, I wont know what is most needed, perhaps a radio project might require improvement.

What I'll be doing:
This wont be fully established until I arrive in Antananarivo (Tana - the capital) at the head office for The Dodwell Trust. Teaching English will be first and foremost, but I also hope to get involved with the radio programs the charity has previously set up, now run by the locals. There is also an option to volunteer at the zoo in Tana, so my extensive pooper scooping experience will come in handy!
