Langlands School

I volunteered to help at Langlands School for children with special needs. I went weekly over a period of 3 months as part of a team and assisted with the children’s music lessons. We also helped to organise and took part in the school’s annual Christmas show for parents. It remains one of the most difficult but rewarding things I have ever done.
