Story
Exercise Tawantinsuyu 2026 🇵🇪
In August 2026, 42 Cadets and Staff from London Wing Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC) will embark on the opportunity of a lifetime: Exercise Tawantinsuyu, a two week volunteer and adventure training expedition to Peru!
A key part of this expedition is a 10 day volunteer project in the Sacred Valley and Cusco, where Cadets will help improve infrastructure and provide vital resources at local schools serving underprivileged children. From building classrooms and improving sanitation, to providing educational supplies, our Cadets will leave a lasting impact on the community and come away with life changing experiences in leadership, teamwork, and global citizenship.
Why We Need Your Support
We believe this opportunity should be open to all Cadets, regardless of financial background. But with rising costs for travel, equipment, and materials, we need your help to raise £115,000 to make this project a reality.
Your donation will go directly towards:
• Volunteer project materials and tools
• Essential kit and equipment for Cadets
• Flights and in country logistics
• Ensuring all Cadets, regardless of circumstances, can take part
The Impact
Exercise Tawantinsuyu will not only change lives in Peru, it will shape the futures of our Cadets here in London. They will gain:
• Hands on experience in volunteering and community service
• Exposure to engineering, infrastructure and STEM in a global context
• Confidence, independence, and resilience to carry forward into adulthood
How You Can Help
Please donate what you can and share this page with friends, family, and colleagues. Every pound brings us closer to empowering 42 young people to make a real difference.
Thank you for helping us turn this dream into a reality!
