We are pleased to have awarded a travel grant for £500 to Daniel to enable him to travel independently to Guatemala. Daniel is planning to immerse himself fully in the local culture, undertake Spanish language courses to enhance his proficiency, live with host families and is committed to engaging with community projects, including initiatives focused on education, gender empowerment and local development. His intention is to make a meaningful contribution while gaining invaluable insights into grassroots efforts, which he considers crucial for his own personal and professional growth.

This ethos aligns with the grant’s aim to support enriching independent travel experiences for young OHs.

Daniel writes: After leaving Haileybury during the first covid lockdown; a tumultuous time of much uncertainty, I went on to study Management and IT at Lancaster University. Upon the completion of my degree, I began working in a travel consultant role at a luxury travel company. Here I got to help my clients to achieve their dream trips to Australia and New Zealand whilst gaining experience with logistics and communication. After a year of working and receiving an award for new starters, I decided it was the right time to pursue my passion for international development and I enrolled at the University of Manchester studying Digital Development. This course focuses on the intersection of digital transformation and international development, an intersection I hope to contribute towards during and after completing my travel to Central America.
