Yesterday, an email came through telling me of my placement! Although there is still a chance that this may change, it feels so good (and also nerve-racking) to know where I'm going and that I'm actually going away.
The project that I will be working at is called Assist. I will be teaching English and helping with materials and programmes for school-going children in children’s homes. This was such good news as this was pretty much what I was hoping to do. I will be based in Markapur, which is a fairly small town and has a rural feel. However seems to be easy enough to get into cities like Hyderabad and Vijayawada.
I might have to learn some Telugu before I head out because that would be really useful to converse with people and generally make it more enjoyable.
Here is the Google Map for Markapur if you would like to see exactly where I'm going. I've already looked a good few times...
So this means I am more determined to go. Although this is now really real, and quite scary, it's so exciting. So, if anybody wishes to donate..?

Last Days at School
Having my last day at school has meant that things are starting to look real for going away. After exams are out the way that's when more fundraising starts!
I got back another smarite tubes from Mrs Mcfarlane so thank you!
I also got a donation/ceilidh ticket money from my mum's cousin Paul, thank you, that was was lovely!
In my last week at school, I had one final bake sale and also a raffle for two Easter Eggs. I raised £169.55 from that so thank you to everyone who bought a cake and a raffle ticket.
And well done to Lauren who won one of the Easter Eggs and to the wee boy who won the other won, who I can't remember his name right now.. But he was pleased he won it!
On 27th March, my birthday, the school had a Neds vs Neons disco for the fifth and sixth years. It's a great night and involved more foundation than I've ever worn in my whole life put together. But from that night, as a donation from the school, sixth years and Mr McClure, I got £30! Thank you to everyone who was there!
