I left the UK in September 2007 to go to Indonesia with VSO.

My placement is for one year, and I will be living in Yogyakarta on the island of Java. My work will involve advocacy and awareness raising with three deaf organisations.

I will be using these pages to keep you up-to-date with my travels and photos - hope you enjoy them!
