How will I make a difference?
We have been shortlisted 4 years running for the World Responsible Travel Awards and you can expect to spend your stay working on a wide range of initiatives where you really will get out what you put in. You achieve this by working on a diverse range of local humanitarian, social and environmental projects that we have developed in partnership with the local communities under expert guidance. This gives you the opportunity to make a real difference through your financial and physical contributions. We also hope that you will come away as educated ambassadors for the critical issues facing conservation and community development.
An amazing experience! I realised how little it takes to make a small but significant change in someone´s life
