We鈥檙e looking for students who are enthusiastic, motivated and want to develop themselves as global citizens.聽There鈥檚 no set limit of the number of students who can go, and we welcome applications from students of all backgrounds and courses.聽There may also聽financial support available聽to help make this possible.鈥�
Zoe Moyler, who took part in the聽2017 expedition shared:聽
鈥淔or me, the month in Kenya truly was a life changing experience! The expedition taught me invaluable lessons in life; understanding the true value of giving without expecting to receive, fully appreciating the culture you are immersed in and simply living in the moment. As well as this, the expedition has taught me to embrace life and take risks, as we take for granted the everyday opportunities given to us. Whilst being in Kenya, I was lucky enough to meet some of the most amazing people, and make true friends for life. Knowing that the time I spent in Kenya has made a difference is the most rewarding and heart-warming feeling, and the children that I worked with have also left a huge impact on my life! Quite simply, my time in Kenya was the happiest month of my life and I cannot recommend it enough.鈥�
