Dominic Squire
10 October 2010
I’m Dominic and am a former pupil of St Joan of Arc sixth form where I studied Business, Music and English literature. I’m currently working in a pub which I enjoy while trying to find internships in record labels.
During my time at St Joan’s I heard a lot about the school’s work with Udayan and the numerous fundraising activities that take place. By the time I arrived in the sixth form and had Caroline as both a form and subject tutor my interest in the project grew. When the opportunity to go on this unique trip came along I saw it as a great way both to do something worthwhile at Udayan and fulfill a desire of mine to travel through India.
By going on this trip I believe I will gain a valuable new outlook on life and on the world, and experience a culture shock to an extent I have never known before. Furthermore, I am very much looking forward to going to Udayan itself and learning from the work there while hopefully being able to give something to the children.
I am also thinking of purchasing a Sitar.
