Good Karma

Up until now I've avoided writing about a particular part of my travels. Now that just seems a bit weird to ignore it. From November to January this year I will be volunteering with Scoop, a small Irish Organisation in a school out in Cambodia.

The reason why I've avoided it is because I was finding it difficult to write about it without coming across as cheesy or up on my proverbial 'high horse'. See below:


- I want to give back to the world!
- I want to help those less fortunate than myself!
- I want to do something meaningful!

It all seem so, well, cheesy. The truth is that I do want to give back to the world. I do want to help those less fortunate tham myself and after three years in the ad industry, I absolute do want to do something that has some depth and meaning. So there.

Anyway, the organisation I'm going with are called Scoop and they do great work out in Cambodia and India, educating children and keeping them away from hard labour. They really believe that education is the key to unlocking yourself from the poverty trap. I can't argue with that.
