My name is Ella Ackroyd and I am 15 years old. I am currently doing my GCSE's at Bicester Community College. I have signed up for a volunteering expedition to Peru in the summer of 2015, through a company called Camps International. The company organise expeditions for schools, gap year students and families to permanent camps located around the world.
We will be going to Peru for a month, to spend time helping improve the communities there. We will be taking part in community projects, including work to improve local school facilities, helping to tackle the ongoing problem of deforestation, and various other important schemes. We will be fully integrated with the Peruvian community during our stay, so we will be able to see the impact of our work first-hand. The trip will also include a five day trek to the iconic Macchu Picchu, and a visit to lake Titicaca. I am very excited to experience the cultures and lifestyles of the Peruvian people, and I know that this expedition will be the trip of a lifetime.
As it is a voluntary trip, I will have to raise around £4,000 to be able to go. This is all through fundraising, and I will need all the help I can get to raise such a substantial amount of money, so any small donations will be greatly appreciated!
You can donate via the link at the top of the page. A link to my email is also at the top of the page, and if you would like to find out more about Camps International and the Peru expedition, the links are at the bottom of the page. Above is a blog that I will try to update with all the fundraising activities I will be taking part in.
