A Cumnock volunteer will be spending Christmas thousands of miles away from the family this year.

Christopher Jackson, 22, is swapping turkey and trimmings at home for a ten-week stint helping under-priviledged people in the Palampur region of India.

And although the Netherthird man admits it will be strange being away from home on Christmas Day, he"s excited at the prospect of helping others have a happy festive period.

Christopher said: 'This something I"ve always wanted to do. Although I"m expecting a bit of a culture shock I"m really excited about it.'
