This is it!

With less than 24 hours until I board the plane to make my return to Nicaragua, here is my final update from the UK:

Well the bags are packed, all the details sorted, although the feeling that I am once again  to travel and live on the other side of the world, hasn't quite set in.

What's ahead of me I think is going to be the toughest challenge I have undertaken to date, as such, I am both very excited and very nervous. 

I am sure that I am going to be exposed to situations that leave me shocked, saddened, frustrated, horrified, perhaps even scared. I just hope I am able to find all of the strength within me to work through the moments when confronted by these emotions, and do what I can to fulfill my aims, and try, where possible, to make a positive difference for the lives of street children.

Its gonna be tough, but I am also sure that the next period of my life is going to be phenomenally rewarding.  I am sure I am going to learn a lot from it, especially in terms of the possibilities and set-backs in trying to  make this world a better place.

So that's it.  I'm off.  I don't know how regular my internet access will be, but I will do what I can to keep this blog updated as often as possible, with stories of life working with street children in Managua, Nicaragua.

Thank you to everyone for your support so far,

Hasta pronto,

Much love,

Simon
