Many thanks to Toby Wainwright for this brief and succinct update from our Andean Exped team! After two days visiting the Quest supported animal sanctuary Jacj Cuisi, we made are way to the pampas. We were all on the boat for three days on the river. During the first day we all swam with a […]
We encourage our team members to keep the masses updated with the odd blog entry about their adventures. Some posts are more detailed than others, this latest one, from Andean Exped member Sam, falls into the “less detailed” category! Before this is read Toby has to be introduce/explained. He is a loved member of the […]
We have finally heard from our Malawi Summer team who joined the project in Chilaweni on the 17th July, here’s what they’ve been up to: Upon arrival we were greeted with a big welcome ceremony, where we had the great privilege of performing the “cup song”, which (unsurprisingly) was very funny!

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.

In his absence (sorry!) we enjoyed the first taste of Quest lettuce, hopefully soon to be followed by Quest courgettes, Quest tomatoes, more […]
