In August, I will travel to Cusco, Peru with Sussex Wing Royal Air Force Air Cadets with the aim to expand the buildings and facilities at the Azul Wazi orphanage. These extra buildings will help the orphanage to accommodate more children who have the misfortune to live on the streets. Cusco has one of the highest poverty rates in Peru, with 30% of the population living below the poverty line. It is therefore important to give the children that live this unfortunate lifestyle some support.

Once the volunteering aspect of the expedition has been completed, we will embark on the trek to Machu Pichhu. At over 12,000ft elevation the Salcantay Trail is an arduous, off the beaten track route, and is 5 days of trekking, testing my physical strengths.

I would appreciate any donations to this page, or even just sharing it with your friends via email or social media to enable as many people to see it as possible.
