When? September 2011- December 2011
What? VESL
Where? Kerala, India

In my final year at university I couldn't decide exactly what I wanted to do, I spent my third year of university studying in Canada and really wanted to travel again! But I wanted to do something worthwhile while I was doing it. Through a travel fair at Edinburgh University I found out about a charity called VESL who offer teaching placements in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand. They are a small NGO based in the UK that offers teaching experiences that last between four and twelve weeks, you do not have to have any formal qualification to volunteer with VESL, which was a bonus for me as I am a Geography graduate!
