I joined 21 young people from Newcastle on residential weekends and we each had to raise 1,500 in funding for our trip.
In July, we travelled to India for two weeks and trekked through the Himalayas to get to the school. It was very small, with an open classroom and three teachers. We helped rebuild it using local materials that we bought ourselves. It was amazing. It really boosted my confidence and it put our leadership skills into practice, such as problem-solving and communication. I would do it again.
