Not only is this charity and it's work inspiring, the team were very welcoming and I feel that even just during my two week volunteer period I made some amazing friends and memories.

I was able to use lots of different skills on the ground as well as my main English Teaching experience. Volunteering with We Are Here you will see straight away how much of a difference the charity makes and their hands-on, practical problem-solving approach means this is a great thing to get involved with if you like jumping into whatever task needs doing.

Even though my volunteer stint is over it's been great to stay in touch with the We Are Here family of volunteers.

A piece of advice: don't be afraid to take the lead sometimes! And pace yourself. <3
