Adiy Al-Yafee

I am currently a History student in my second year at University. I have gained significant experience in teaching which has helped me develop my communication skills with both children and young adults. Through consistent interaction with students I have taken on the responsibility of advising and guiding students on how to improve their performance, I liaise closely with parents, notifying them of their child's progress. This has forced me to sharpen my teaching abilities, communication skills, time management and working under pressure.

• I love to travel and I have been to many countries with Thailand being one of my favorites. the different culture, food and beautiful landscape has made it my go to destination.
• I have a deep passion for art and painting. When I travel to different countries, I love to paint the different landscapes.
• Languages has always interested me, I have traveled to Egypt to learn Arabic and I want to study Thai and maybe even Russian and Spanish as they are such beautiful sounding languages.
• I have always enjoyed nature and the outdoors, one day I want to travel through Central Asia on horseback and camp in the nomad huts in Kyrgzstan
• Chess is the only game I play and since covid I have become addicted to playing it in my freetime

I am a member of the Travelteer volunteering programme. I plan on volunteering in Morocco in the Atlas mountains for up to a month during the summer holiday. I will assist in English lessons, sport coaching sessions, infrastructure projects and agriculture. 

Last summer I volunteered for a local charity in Egypt, helping to distribute basic food necessities to poor regions of Cairo. I helped distribute meat to families in need and traveled to the different regions to make sure the supplies were delivered.  I worked closely with the local charity team, interacting with people from different cultures.
