Three weeks summarised in a couple of paragraphs, here we go! Three weeks in and we’ve done so much and covered so many miles. Visiting the Quest Villa Maria project in Lima was really eye opening and great to see the impact that the project is having. After exploring Lima and visiting ballestas Islands we […]
Hello from Malawi!! Almost into our last week of Malawi and we are all still having an amazing time! We have almost finished refurbishing the feeding centre and its kitchen and the boys have been keeping up their carpentry skills with refurbishing the desks for the primary school. The villagers are extremely friendly and always […]

Volunteering overseas to help empoverished or orphaned children leaves little room for criticism, doesn’t it?

Hello hello, Brighton had a great Marathon on Sunday, with over 10.000 participants. Quest4Change marked its presence doing volunteer work. We had a water station at the end of the 6th mile, and me and my fellow Portuguese friends were there to help with the water station, as we are trying to get involved with […]
Without being too generic, it really is hard to believe that today should be our last day in Sucre. I would put special emphasis on the word ‘should’ however, as, despite our aims to leave the city, our actual destination beyond this is still yet to be decided.
