News Report
Prince William in Chile
Script1
What goes into a prince’s education today? For Britain’s Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter, as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International.
The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded2 on a beach during a storm.
He also got used to sleeping on the ground—at times in a room filled with 16 people –and living in simple conditions.
Those who took part, called “volunteers”, both contributed and learned3. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren.
He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble4, and laid-back. As one said, “He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fun…getting on with everyone, and taking on the team spirit.”
The prince said he liked being treated as an “equal” by other volunteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having had troubles with drugs or crime.
It seems that there’s a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of a British prince.
