Ecuador expedition reviews

Although much of the trip was hard and at times I did think I couldn't carry on, it has probably been the most fulfilling month of my life so far. I have made some great friends and I have grown up a lot because of my experiences: good, bad and down right hilarious...

Emma Ratnavel, Challenger, St. Philomena's School

Students have grown in maturity and taken on board high levels of responsibility. Confidence growth very good too. I have learnt how to let my students take control and have faith in their abilities.

Geoffery Lockett, School Leader, St. Philomena's School

This was a once in a lifetime experience & I will never be able to express how grateful I am. Going away has allowed me to find myself and helping me decide what I want to do in the future. It was a privilege to be part of such a great team. The experience has taught me to open my eyes and take more responsibility.

John Tovey, Challenger, Chalfonts Community College

Tom came back much more aware of those less fortunate than himself & an urge to see more of the world. He is planning to return to Ecuador and India in 2009.
