It was so exciting to get such a positive response to the article about the destruction of Amazon Curaca Camp by the termites. I had never intended to go in August but so many wanted to go then that I had to look into it.
However, it was just as I feared: far too expensive. I had always intended to go in either September or October and now find that the latter is by far the more practical. The project involves Voluntourism, both volunteering and having a holiday, which is why there is a cost involved. In fact, there will be just eight days' work out of sixteen days in Peru. Also included in the charge of £2000 is a sum that enables the project to take place.
I am now very sad to report that out of over one hundred enquiries there are just two people - only TWO - who are now able to take part in October. I should like to thank everyone for their interest and understand the reasons for so many having to pull out: the cost, only being available in August or September and, in several cases, losing their jobs.
So it's back to square one - almost! We now need eighteen people able to go between 15th October and 2nd November.
