The first Bolivia GAP Team
of 2011 arrived in Sucre yesterday morning after a mammoth journey from
London by plane and bus. All the team are in good spirits and their
first Spanish lessons are already in full swing. This week will see
them studying hard, getting to know each other and their Spanish
teachers and spending the weekend exploring the beautiful city of Sucre
and visiting the Sunday markets at Tarabuco for those all-important
llama jumpers!
After their 3 weeks of Spanish lessons the team will be heading in
to the animal sanctuaries in the Bolivian Amazon for 4 weeks;
constructing larger enclosures and other infrastructure at Parque Jacq
Cuisi and taking responsibility for different animals (pumas, monkeys,
ocelots and more) at Parque Machia.
