Following their hard work on the Tanzania and Kenya projects, six intrepid volunteers and their leader Richard are working their way up Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest free-standing peak.  Needless to say, internet blogging is neither particularly easy nor at the forefront of the team’s minds, but we have had a progress update using the wonders […]

Never have we had such a dutiful team with their blog updates, well done guys! With just a week to go for the intrepid Andean Expedition team, here is an account of their time in the Bolivian Amazon and Andes, enjoy! Once upon a time on a sunny August day in Bolivia the Andean Expedition […]

So we thought we’d add a bit of competitiveness to our summer teams this year, with the challenge to make the best music video at their project site, or on their expedition route. We were aware that our leaders wouldn’t stand for second best but it seems our volunteers have stepped up to the plate as […]

They’re getting close to the end of their epic adventure, the last update will be coming soon after they return from Machu Picchu. […]

Welcome Home to all of our returned volunteers! 58 volunteers on five projects and one expedition.  Over one thousand bags of cement mixed.  One feeding centre, a toilet block, classroom foundations, four sand dams, a new puma enclosure, five houses, done.  Hours of waiting for planes, waiting for buses, done.  Tears shed at the end…who […]

Some final words from some of this year’s Kenya Summer Team, now relaxing at home… From seeing Giraffe (Giraffes?) at the start of an excitement filled bus journey on the first day, to singing, dancing and working with Kamba communities to construct 4 whole Sanddams, and finally spending a fantastic last few days with the […]

Thanks Louisa for this brilliant shot of the team at the summit. Having all reached the summit of Uhuru Peak on Kilimanjaro, Louisa, Steph, Katie, Niroj, Paul and Joanna are all now back in the UK.  Their leader Richard managed to take time out from his beach work on the blissful island paradise of Lamu […]
