A NEWLY qualified teacher from Warrington is embarking on a humanitarian mission to Kathmandu in Nepal to help build temporary shelters so that the local children can go to school.
David Grant aged 26 from Old Hall, Warrington, will also be teaching the children in the shelters.
He said: “A lot of the schools in the region are inaccessible due to the two major earthquakes which took place recently and I am looking forward to helping out and making a difference for these unfortunate children.”
He will be travelling with Projects Abroad, a company founded in 1992 which operates in 29 countries worldwide. They send 10,000 volunteers overseas each year and believe in creating and working with sustainable projects that foster development in local communities abroad.
David will be travelling out on July 6 and is looking for financial support to help raise £1,500 to cover costs and donate money to the school projects.
He is a former pupil from Great Sankey High School, who studied Drama at Edgehill University.
He has just competed a PGCE at Manchester Metropolitan University to teach Secondary Drama and will start his teaching career in Sutton, Surrey.
