For anyone who doesn't know a team of us are headed to Cochabamba, Bolivia in just over 6 weeks to work on the Oeser Project. Oeser is an educational project based in the North of Cochabamba with a school and a nursery. The community is very poor and many children cannot afford school; so Oeser provide grants for them to through a social enterprise called Mikuni which makes Quinoa grain. By making lots of high quality projects the profits raised can be reinvested into the local school and community.

This post is just an introduction to let you know who we are so we can stay connected while in Bolivia. We so appreciate your contributions and would love for you to be part of our journey!
Going to Bolivia seems a world away but for most of us we're brushing up on our Spanish and getting stuck into fundraising, from concerts to charity run's. On this blog we'll be sharing all the highs and lows and LOTS OF PICTURES!
Cannot wait! :)
