1. So, what made you apply for the Cambodia trip?
When I caught wind of this programme via a friend of mine I thought it was a perfect opportunity, I love teaching and travelling, so I thought why not! It is such a great cause and also a chance to see a completely different part of the world in the process.
2. Have you ever done anything like this before?
I was in Ghana last year teaching Mathematics but I have never done anything for this length of time before.
3. What's the one thing you’re looking forward to the most?
I would say interacting with the children, being able to teach them something while they also teach me something. It would be great if everybody left with skills they never had at the beginning of summer.
4. Is there anything you're worried about? Anything you're dreading?
Probably getting ill and being attacked by mosquitos! I'm packing all kinds of concotions to scare them off though.
5. What will you and your team do on a day-to-day basis?
As the head of teaching hub I will be overseeing what goes on in the classroom, the team will be providing lessons in the evenings to the children, however we have tried not to journey out there with a strict day-to-day lesson plan as we will be catering to their needs which will be easier to do once we know their strengths and weaknesses.
6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself
Riding a camel is my favourite mode of transport.
7. What's the one thing about the UK you'll miss the most whilst you're out there?
Being able to call my family and friends whenever I want to, especially when something exciting happens!
