UIC is a fantastic organisation to work for; I have had the pleasure of working in the summer camp for UIC for two years now. I have been an activity leader and a team leader both highly rewarding and enjoyable jobs. UIC also sponsored me to go volunteering in Peru in which I went with a group of students from Leeds Metropolitan University, we had to raise a thousand pounds each before we went. I lived in a refuge for 5 weeks in Peru looking after the children, helping them with their school work and teaching them English. I also set up a wide variety of activities such as football, volleyball, cricket, basketball, arts and crafts and outdoor adventures activities to name a few these activities helped keep the children fit and active but more importantly have fun enjoyable experiences. The experience I got from working at Ascot with students from all over the globe helped me with the language barrier in Peru and therefore helped me communicate with the children better. Furthermore while the students were at school, we went to a local shanty town to help build a soup kitchen from scratch, the thousand pounds each we raised went towards building cost and labour. It was very hard work but highly rewarding and the surrounding community will really benefit from it. I’m so grateful for the sponsorship UIC gave me because without it I wouldn’t have been able to help so many people out in Peru, it shows how much UIC is willing to help so many other people and countries enhance their future prospects.
