Enjoy as much as we did!!!!
This is the first of many fundraising events that will be posted ont he ReacTeam Just Giving page.
Some ReacTeam members and other AWF volunteers have worked and supported each other as a team to summit the the world’s third highest ACTIVE volcano, the TEIDE VOLCANO here in Tenerife, the Canary Islands (Spain), which is 3718m high! We were lucky enough (:P) to enjoy our challenge with the calima weather phenomenon, which means having to withstand extremely hot temperatures and lowered visibility from air-borne dust.
The experience was much harder than expected, with incredible vertical hills to climb for 9 hours from 11pm to 8am, so the whole night!! Team work was crucial which made us stronger as a group. No one was left behind despite many difficulties we encounter. And all this to reach our target of getting to the summit to see the sunrise and it was SOOO WORTH IT. We were many hundred meters above the clouds and the views ver absolutely stunning!(check the pictures!). Physically and mentally it was a challenge having to withstand the lower oxygen at a certain altitude, the temperature change as we got higher and the tiredness, but we RECOMENDED, specially if every step you take is for a good cause.
So, please help us by donating some money to the REACTEAM! It will go directly to pay for the expeditions so needed to conserve the animals in danger.
Thank you!
