A career break in the Galapagos Islands will be an experience you will never forget. Ever since Charles Darwin visited these unique islands in the Pacific Ocean, people have been fascinated by the wildlife found there.
Your role on this project will be to work to safeguard the future of one of the planet’s oldest and most magnificent species, the Galapagos Giant Tortoise, who are hovering on the point of extinction due to the activities of mankind.
Teach English to children in the Galapagos Islands. Learning English is a compulsory part of the curriculum in Ecuador but there are not enough teachers and resources to fulfil this. Volunteers fill this gap and free up sufficient resources to invest in the children's futures.
In this well structured complete round the world trip, spend up to an entire year travelling, volunteering, learning and exploring 4 continents. An amazing trip taking you to South Africa – India – Thailand – Malaysia – Australia - New Zealand – Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands.
