I am travelling to Peru in July 2017 with other students from Ringwood Sixth Form through Camps International on a 4-week expedition. The first three weeks of my stay will be spent doing community work such as helping with the construction of new schools out of handmade 'mud blocks', planting trees and crops, and learning about the local culture through visits to places such as Cusco, Arequipa and Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world.
Finally, during the last week I will be doing a three-day trek to Machu Picchu. I have been fundraising for this expedition for the last 2 years, and am getting more and more excited as the date draws closer.
As a final push to hit my fundraising target of £4,500, I am doing a sponsored walk from Salisbury to Hengistbury head along the Avon Valley Path. This is a total of 36 miles over 2 days in the May half-term and it should help prepare me for the Machu Picchu trail in Peru.
Thanks so much for any support you can give!
