Finally...
News of my final placement...
I'm going to be in the Moruca reserve teaching at Santa Rosa Secondary School. It sounds like a paradise: It's situated 5 hours from Georgetown (the capital) and involves traveling by speedboat on 3 different rivers! It is open-grassland that floods during the rainy season creating small islands linked by bridges!
My house has been renovated this year and there is a bedroom each and an open-plan seating area... there is a flush toilet and shower but NO RUNNING WATER! This has to be collected from the well at the end of the garden! Electricity is sometimes available for a couple of hours in the evening.
I will probably be in charge of science and maths (with my partner) for a form or 2 so between 100 - 200 students.
WOW i can't wait... only £480 to raise
About Me
- Emily
- Having spent a year away in the beautiful and exciting country of Guyana i would like to have this blog as a way of sharing some of my experience. Without the help of family, friends, Project Trust and others i would not have been able to raise the funds for Project Trust in order to go away and teach for the year. The experience was fantastic: full of surprises, challenges, amazement and bafflement! Thankyou to all who made it possible. I am now at university, studying Biomedical sciences: keen to broaden my knowledge and take it back overseas with me.
