PERSONAL IMPACT
TODAY
Working on a residential property development project in London and South East of England. Planning to embark on a solo six month sabbatical trip through Central and South America.
I volunteer with I-Vol to give other people a group volunteering experience, gain new skills and help other young people take part in international volunteering projects.
I know that if I hadn’t got involved in international volunteering I would probably be in a job I didn't enjoy and trying to find something to do in my spare time.
