Rob and Matt have just sent through some of the latest footage of their time in Bolivia. They have been investigating the North side of Lake Titikaka, a side of South America people rarely visit. An area of unrivaled natural beauty, something that even Robs foul orange jacket couldn't ruin.
Our team in Lima has started working in Villa Maria recently at our children's project. One of their first jobs was to present a donation of football strips from Burgess Hill Town Football Club to a local team.
Just one week before the Machu Picchu floods, our trusty leader Emily Jesshope was in Cuzco getting things ready for the Manu project in the Peruvian Amazon. Although she wasn't as unfortunate as the hundreds which were stranded in the Sacred Valley, she did have a bit of an interesting adventure. Read on to hear more about her trip and to see photos of the project which awaits our team in May.
Mt. Meru lies just outside the city of Arusha in Tanzania. It is the third largest mountain in Sub saharan Africa (after Mt. Kenya and Kilimanjaro) and is an active stratovolcano. The climb takes just 3 days to the summit at 4562.13m over steep rocky terrain. The views of the ash crater and Kilimanjaro to the east are spectacular. It is necessary for groups to be accompanied by an armed Ranger due to the buffalo that freely range Arusha National Park.

With the imminent departure of our first Bolivia 2010 going overseas we are awash in the office with excitement. Not only will they be learning the language and the culture but they will be providing much needed help in the new animal park of Jacjcuisi. Followed by heading off into the great unknown with the more than capable Mr. Matt Brimble our Bolivian Country Director.
They will be spending their time between the two parks of Jacjcuisi and Machia. Though excited for them all I am also insanely jealous!
Here are a few friendly faces they are likely to meet
