CHILE: BRITAIN'S PRINCE WILLIAM (2)

(10 Dec 2000) English/Nat New footage has been released showing the future king of the United Kingdom, Prince William, on his gap year adventures in Chile. The young Royal is nearing the end of his 10-week trip to Patagonia, southern Chile. In the remote coastal village where he is currently seeing out the final days of his travels, William discovered he is a natural with children, by teaching English at a local school. The prince is on the second stage of his year out before university, working in Patagonia as a volunteer with the Raleigh International organisation. He raised five and a half thousand pounds (83-hundred dollars) in sponsorship and by organising a water polo match to pay for his trip. His father, the Prince of Wales, matched the figure in a contribution to Raleigh's programme for disadvantaged young people. The charity aims to develop young people through a 10-week expedition during which they take part in adventure activities, an environmental assignment and community projects. William and 102 other Raleigh volunteers - whose backgrounds range from a reformed drug user to a Cambridge graduate - began the expedition together on October 1. For the final stage of his visit, William settled in the remote and unspoilt coastal village of Tortel, a place so isolated it is only accessible by boat or plane. Here, William revealed a natural talent for delighting the youngsters at a local school with jokes and games, in between teaching them English and brushing up his Spanish. With the other volunteers - or "venturers" - William also helped the villagers build wooden walkways to link their homes. He mixed freely with the locals, and enjoyed being treated as an "equal" by the other volunteers, with whom he slept side-by-side. His determination to be accepted at face value by his Raleigh peers - he insisted on being called Will or William - seemed to have paid off. William said he decided to join an expedition with Raleigh International because he wanted to do something "different". UPSOUND: (English) William talking to school class "We're going to start by playing a game, the Penguin game, we played it yesterday, you know, this one (makes movement). We'll start by doing that and then we'll teach you some vocabulary after that." SOUNDBITE: (English) "Throughout the expedition he has developed in confidence and he's just very, very relaxed, very assured in what he does and is very effective as a leader." SUPER CAPTION: Malcolm Sutherland, Expedition Leader SOUNDBITE: (English) "He has mucked (joined) in, he has had a laugh, he has worked hard, he is laid back, he has struck a really good balance between working hard, having fun, getting on with everyone, taking on the team spirit ethic of Raleigh."
