New physically demanding gap year programmes. We have two new and exciting programmes for those of you who like to get their hands dirty! House Building Volunteer Guatemala This is without a doubt one of our most rewarding projects. Help rebuild homes in the poorest areas of Guatemala for some of the most disadvantaged families in Latin America. Romania Orphanage Building Volunteer BRAND NEW DESTINATION Volunteers should be prepared for physical work. However, this is a very rewarding volunteer experience, as it will mean the world to the children to have a place they could call home. Tsunami House-building Volunteer We also have a house-building project in Sri Lanka. The Tsunami devastated parts of Sri Lanka and a considerable amount of work is still needed. A Real Africa Experience - New Projects Matobo National Park Conservation Zimbabwe In addition to valuable wildlife conservation work, observations and documenting of ancient san bushmen paintings hidden in the many rocky outcrops of the Matopos Hills adds an exciting element to this programme. The Real Tanzania and Zanzibar Experience This project is based in the Moshi area of Northern Tanzania, literally in the foothills of Kilimanjaro. There is a strong community and wildlife focus and there is probably nowhere better in the world to enjoy an experience combining these elements.
