watching on the Galapagos Islands? Local accommodation, hospitality and guides provide opportunities to interact and
learn about Latin American people and cultures.
..1 D Have you ever wished luxury didn't cost the earth? Well it doesn't have to if you're relaxing in a new eco-resort in
the Maldives, destined to be the first carbon-neutral country in the world. Your money will help finance coral cleaning,
waste management, water conservation and renewable energy sources.
:, D Have you ever wanted to get up close to a great white shark? Why not join a team of marine biologists in South Africa
monitoring the sharks from boats and cages in the sea? You'll spend most of your time working with a small dedicated
group of locals, learning about sharks and educating the general public about them.
6 D Have you ever been on a volunteering holiday? Here's your chance! Come to Cambodia and teach sport, music, art or
drama to disadvantaged children. You will live with local host families, learn about the culture and take sightseeing trips
to beaches, temples and monkey refuges.
