The teenager said: “I will be taking part in a range of projects, varying from low level construction, digging foundations, tree planting, reforestation and working with local school children.
“I’m going on this trip because it is a great opportunity for my all round development and to help a community.
“It’s something exciting to look forward to once I have finished my GCSEs in June.”
