Looking for an adventure?

Many of you may know Nic and Pam from strength/pilates classes or from around the community generally. What you may not know is that they run an organisation - e3

Global Adventures and partner charity Community Against Poverty. Through e3 and CAP they organise adventure based volunteer trips for travellers who want to make a difference to communities they visit during their journey. We're talking 'big difference' here - grassroots but high impact projects such as house and school builds, provision of clean water and water tanks, health and hygiene training for children and more - all delivered to some of the most disadvantaged communities across SE Asia.

The trips themselves are for 2 weeks, group size is 16 max and they are always heaps of fun (no, not all hard work)!

Nic and Pam are currently looking for 14 adventurous people to join them in April 2025 on an epic journey to North Vietnam. They are holding an info session about the trip at Reba Sear on Sat 8th June at 2pm. So if you've ever thought about 'being the change' and making a difference in the world, come along and see how you can do just that!
