The expedition in April 2021 was Hope Humanitarian’s first expedition since COVID-19 locked down the world. We had a great group of 14 volunteers and by the end, the entire team had become great friends, as is usually the case. Bonding over hard work, adventures and food is a recipe for solid friendships. Our group came with a variety of backgrounds but had several things in common: a desire to make a difference and a willingness to work hard.
