Acceptance email....


Today I received my confirmation email informing me that I have been accepted onto the volunteering program!

I have just paid my registration fee and chosen my location..... I will be volunteering in 'Ho Chi Minh City' formerly 'Saigon' at the 'Phu My Orphanage'. My main jobs will include, Teaching the children English, helping to care for the disabled children and helping out with arts & crafts lessons and organizing sports games etc! :-)

I also managed to change my flights back to the UK, so, I now arrive on the 21st of February sometime in the morning, around 11ish I think!? So you should all be prepared for random visits anytime after that date!!

Anyway, that is all for now! As things progress I will update more......

A time of change...

So today I decided it was time to stop mopping around and dwelling on what has happened. After all, nothing I do can change what has happened and I guess I need to learn to live and deal with it, you can't always have what you want huh!?

Anyway, I decided that I am going to go ahead with all my travel plans by myself!! Yes, by myself! I also decided that I will also go on a volunteering program, like I had wanted to do before as well. So, as there is no time like the present, I have just sent off my application form to volunteer in a Vietnamese orphanage for a month next December! I will be fundraising to help pay for the cost of the program itself (but not for any flights, injections etc. etc.), so be expecting some emails / messages with fundraising plea's on them soon! :-)
