year away. I have chosen to take a gap year in order to travel and gain experiences from different places. In an ideal world, I would take a whole 12 months to travel the globe, collecting mem­ ories from different countries. I would visit Japan,' delving into - its colourful history, Russia, just to say I had been knee-deep in . snow and then I would road-trip around the USA in a VW Van! . However, I ’m sure you will agree, this world is far from ideal. -There are so many coun-, tr ies th a t need help, a n d ' although seeing the many sights the world has to offer would be a fantastic experience, I ’d rather spend my time doing something ■worthwhile. This realisation has caused me to pick'one place th a t ' I want to visit, bearing in mind


■ this decision will stay with me forever. I chose Sri Lanka, not because i t’s classed as the jewel. of the Indian Ocean, and quite rightly so, but because it is part of me. . Let me explain.. . At nine-days-old, I was adopt- , ed from Sri Lanka. For my birth


• parents, this was the only option, for several reasons. Putting me: up for adoption seemed like the best solution for them and for me. • -


■: My adoptive parents flew out


on the 18th of November. One day after, they saw me for the first time, a t a day old. I was brought back to England and have lived in East Lancashire


• ever since - the main part of my life in Burnley and then Chat- ' ’


■ bum.


I am lucky in so many ways. For one, I am in contact with


■my bir th parents and I have been back and visited them. I only remember seeing them for


■ the third time, at age 13.1 found the experience surreal. I t ’s one of those things th a t you can’t explain, but I recall wondering what I would have been like if I had stayed there. My life would have been unbelievably'differ­ ent. H in d i t amazing th a t a slight turn of events and I could have been someone else. .:


I have worked out that it will


cost me at least £1,200 for one' month in Sri Lanka. Although this figure is only an estimate, it ■ is a tall order. The money will go towards flights, which are rough­ ly £600 return. If I chose to go with a company, the package will be around £600 also. There are two aspects of vol­


unteering I would like to do. At the moment,.! am still wonder­ ing which one to chose. ■ The first is to help teach the


English language to school chil­ dren. The ability to speak fluent Eiiglish is beneficial. Schools in the poorer parts of the country are in need of English speakers . to assist them. This is something that would tie in with my future aspirations to gain an English degree. However, there is anoth­ er situation th a t is in need of more help. The orphanages are crying out: :


■;.il


.


A


for support. Since the tsunami of 2004, there are many children th a t have' lost families and homes. They simply'require love and


attention. However, lots of these children have physical and men­ tal problems because of the trau-' ma they went through. This means i t will-be an extremely emotionally intense month. ■ Spending time in Sri Lanka is ■


something I really want to do. I am determined to raise-the £1,200 th a t will enable me to volunteer in Sri Lanka, giving •me a brilliant experience. ■ For me, it’s an opportunity, to


give something back’to the country that despite being over 5,000 niiles away, I have such a close connection to. To do this is not only my goal, but my ambi­ tion.
