Raleigh
Raleigh is a UK charity which works with young people from different countries and backgrounds to enable them to make a positive contribution to society and to achieve leadership and social development. Young people work together in diverse teams, volunteering overseas and taking part in an adventure expedition that challenges them physically, emotionally and mentally. They work on projects in remote communities and environments to achieve a specific project and to learn about the lives of local people.
Raleigh International currently runs expeditions in the United Kingdom, Borneo (East Malaysia), Costa Rica & Nicaragua and India.
One of the best experiences I have ever had as a photographer was to go as Expedition Photographer on a Raleigh expedition in Costa Rica & Nicaragua - click here for an insight into expedition life...
