I am a student in Shropshire and I have signed up for a four-week expedition to Peru in July 2019 with Camps International. This is an exciting opportunity for me to experience living in a rural community and help out on projects that will have a life changing impact on the local community. Although I do not know what project I will be working on yet, such projects could include the following:

Education: Helping generations of children and babies by building a new school classroom or nursery.

Housing: Constructing vitally needed community housing from local materials.

Healthcare & Sanitation: Improving the health of a whole community by installing and developing local amenities.

Food and Water Security: Creating a communal green house to provide vegetables all year round helping to control hunger and malnutrition.

Environmental protection: Replanting indigenous plants to offset environmental damage and deforestation.

Sustainable livelihoods: Digging irrigation channels to bring water from the mountains to nearby farms and houses; providing a more constant supply of water to people, crops and animals.
