| Brief: |
Dear potential participants,
Ever fancied a life of adventure, discovery and excitement?
Join a hundred strangers. Walk a hundred miles. With no change
of socks. To sleep with bugs and bathe in streams. Would you
give up the comforts of home in pursuit of a crazy dream?
Previous Raleigh International projects include building
gravity feeds to supply fresh water to villages, building
houses, schools, bridges and libraries; geological surveys,
marine conservation work, working with rhinos & orang utans; as
well as trekking across the Crocker Range, sea kayaking in Chile
and trekking across some of the most arid parts of Namibia.
This year Raleigh International gives young Malaysians the
opportunity to embark on life-changing expeditions to Malaysia,
Costa Rica-Nicaragua, Namibia & Ghana. These expeditions
challenge young people, between the ages of 17 and 25 through
community and conservation work in some of the world’s most
remote destinations. Volunteers help build homes, community
clinics and work with wildlife experts on some of the world’s
most endangered species.
To qualify for an expedition as a Venturer, you have to be
between 17-25 years of age, speak basic English and able to swim
200m unaided and qualify yourself at an Introduction Weekend.
This Introduction Weekend is designed to simulate the rigors and
