  This was a three month overseas programme carrying out international citizen service and helping with development projects, natural resource management and working to tackle issues of poverty, water and sanitation. As someone who enjoys international affairs, it was a fantastic opportunity to work in a rural Nicaraguan community (Las Cruces) to help provide sustainable, safe and easy access to improved water sources as well as helping to reduce social and gender inequalities through social enterprise. My day-to-day role included working alongside project partner CEPS as well as two of the local water committees in my community. I conducted baseline surveys across more than every nine houses of 270 in my community in order to identify their needs. From there I worked to educating them on health, hygiene and sanitation issue; done through various action days on personal hygiene and waste management. I met with the local women's group and took part in a weekly youth group. My job also involved building water systems and launching other self aid projects designed to be long lasting and ultimately life changing. Additionally, I was elected as the blog champion for my group (Charlie 9). I was in charge of writing, commissioning, managing all of the text and multimedia content going up on the charity's official blog. A condition to joining the programme is to fundraise. I exceeded my target of £800 and underwent various challenges including: 'Living Below the Poverty Line' on £1 a day for a week, as well as selling my own photography and promoting my cause on social media to attract donations. Now home, I am to complete an independently led action at home project designed to spread awareness and to motivation and inspire other young people to become active citizens. I am currently in the process of writing up some political, environmental and citizen related articles and plan to exhibit some of my best digital works.
