A DARLINGTON sixth-form student is heading for Bolivia as part of a gap year.
Ben Tait, 18, a student at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, plans to work in a French ski resort, explore Romania and then go to Bolivia to work with the voluntary group I to I.
There, he will teach English to adults and children in a town named Cochabomba, after learning Spanish from scratch.
Ben, who is fundraising to finance his voluntary work, is about to take A-levels in economics, French, and English, and hopes to study at York University.
