Firstly, sorry - I've no idea where to put this (Bubba?).

Basically, If you are a teacher, youth worker (community groups ect), college lecturer, with a taste for adventure, this is for you!

Choose a destination - anywhere in the world - and go there for free (yep).  If you want more information, PM me for my mobile number. :bounce:

Cheers,

Chris.

Ps - sorry for the unintentional spamming!

Thats a bit of a tease, any more info? I can think of lots of people who may be interested. What's the catch/charity/religion/cult?

I'm still working on trying to get funding for a cultural exchange between the street drinkers and street sex workers of both Sheffield and Fontainebleau, but have had about as much success finding funding as I have for my request to be sent on a "learn to drive like The Sweeney" course  :shrug:

Funding for kids and drug users is much easier to get.

Just to clarify...

Kids are the best possible people that we should be investing in.
As Mr JR says; no one gets a second chance - and we all have to cope with the results.

( off topic here - I don't quite get why drug abusers get so much of a better deal than vulnerable alcohol abusers with multiple and complex needs  :shrug: )

Probably because drug users are more likely to commit crimes, therefore the government chucks money at them to curb their evil doings?
Just what i think anyway.....

Check out www.outlookexpeditions.com  and have a look at the teachers section.  I'm an expeditions senior here, so if you are keen (unbelievable career booster and also a remarkable experience)  PM and I'll give you a call etc.  Chris.

Because alcohol's not a drug. It's a drink.

Actually, it's both a drug and a drink.

You could have made more money auctioning dogs!!


Im not sure that alcohol abusers get any less attention than polydrug users, both groups represent a large potential social strain and an exceptional cost for the health services (which I suspect is one of the government's main motivators in deciding where to put its money). Certainly research seems equally split between the two groups.
