Reflections of a year gone by

I no longer write on this blog - mainly because my time with Oasis has ended and i no longer stay in London. If you've arrived upon this page then feel free to read about my experiences as a volunteer Charity Worker in South London. The Blog was initially set up so that i could maintain contact with my family and friends whilst away from home.

Some reflections.......Gap years are a great idea - a chance to test out your skills, perhaps decide what you want to do for the rest of your life. I found the experience to be extremely grounding. I think I've developed a better sense of awareness about my limits - how well i cope in different situations, how i respond to crisis and also to being very poor etc.

So, now this Blog will 'float on' around the world wide web - hopefully others will read and be interested in taking opportunities to support the people in their communities. That's why i ventured into this because ultimately i felt my role within society was to help where possible.

The year has ended and now i move on - different job same focus.......
