FN-FORUM: Peru expedition [very OT]

date posted 16th August 2004 20:32

Hi everyone,

I won't bore you with the details - basically, I'm planning on going
canoeing in Peru with my school for my final year. I guess it is
unlikely that any of you are in a similar situation as you all
sound... older (without putting too fine a point on it ;) ). Basically
the trip will cost me 'a lot of money' (=A33000!), and in desperation I
thought I would ask if anyone has done / will do / knows anyone that
has done / will do (etc etc) a similar sort of thing, because I need a
way to get the money within the next year! I have heard that there are
many charitable trusts out there that are prepared to help funding
these sort of trips, but can be quite hard to find. Anoyone know any?
I would also like to try and earn the money myself, but unfortunately
there aren't many people that are willing to employ a 17 year old (to
do web development work).

Sorry, I just thought I'd run this all past you in the off-chance that
someone might have some experience and/or suggestions. If people are
happy to discuss their cats, this can't be too off-topic after all.
(Though maybe 'OT' stands for 'on-topic'!)

Thanks and best regards,
Joe.
