An account from Will about their construction work. Construction Project at Ambue Ari Our small group of myself, Hannah, Ollie and Matty as our project and expedition leader made our long journey to Parque Ambue Ari and were soon set to work with the construction phase of our month volunteering.

After a long stint without contact with the outside world, our Bolivia gap team are out of the forest and have plenty to say! Thanks to Ollie for the update below: Following 2 challenging but well rewarding weeks of construction, building a management cage for a stunning jaguar called Amira, we found out what animals […]
As they start on their expedition, we have a brief update from Isabelle as they take a short stop for breath! It’s hard to believe we only began the expedition a week ago.

Arequipa greeted us with ice creams, wifi, a warm shower and a nice meal, a welcome change from our ambitious but none the less questionable trek […]
