A very special place in my heart...

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend 3 months in Malaysian Borneo with Raleigh earlier this year. It was possibly the most rewarding and renewing experience of my life. I was able to help people who have so little and my group made a huge impact on their lives. We worked with conservationists and learnt about the environmental issues this incredible country is facing. I made so many friends and many many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I also learnt a lot about myself at a time when I really needed to.
The fundraising you have to complete to go on a Raleigh expedition is daunting and might seem a ridiculous amount of money (I certainly felt so)
However, I could never put a price on the incredible experience I had, the wonderful people I met and connected with and the positive change I helped create.
Borneo and its people and the memories we created will forever have a very special place in my heart.
