In 2018, a group of 10 students from St Christopher’s CE High School in Accrington will travel to Ecuador on a four-week, life-enhancing expedition with Camps International.

Camps International are global leaders in ethical and sustainable expeditions across Africa, Asia and South America. Their expeditions help to challenge young people’s view of the world, understand the day to day challenges rural communities face, help work on projects which transform communities and help them overcome significant issues they face including access to clean water, education and housing. They also increase student’s self-worth and appreciate the impact just one person can have on the world.

Part of the challenge is for students is fundraising to cover the cost of their expedition as well as those associated with the projects they will contribute to in Ecuador including school kitchen improvements and the Ethnobotanical Garden (Amazonia).

All donations to this page will be divided equally between the students travelling. Any support you are able to offer will not only add to their total but also motivate them towards their ultimate goal.
