My name is Kathryn and I have signed up to a 21 day expedition to Peru and Bolivia with my school. One of the most fulfilling activities that I will be involved in is spending time at the Azul Wasi orphanage in Peru. We will be volunteering there by helping to maintain the orphanage itself and getting to know and teaching the children who live there. The work that this orphanage does changes and builds the lives of these disadvantaged children through education and care. This work is not possible without the help  offered by volunteers. While on the trip I will also have the opportunity to see the lost city of Machu Picchu, camp out in the salt flats in Bolivia and visit the cities of Lima, Cusco and La Paz. The total cost of the trip is £4,195 and part of the experience is fundraising and so I am looking forward to raising as much of this total as I can through events, part-time work and future sponsors. Thank you for taking the time to reading my story and I am very grateful for any donations given.
