At school, we were given the opportunity to travel to Peru on a four-week expedition with an organisation called Camps International. I gladly accepted as I was aware that opportunities such as don't come along very often. On this trip, I will be spending a large part of my time helping in the local community with ongoing projects designed to improve the quality of life of the people there. I am very much looking forward to being immersed in the vibrant and ancient culture of Peru, and hope to make as much of an impact as possible.
