Journey Latin America raises funds for Galapagos conservation 

Journey Latin America recently held a series of talks throughout the country, in Edinburgh, Bristol, London and Manchester, with highly entertaining speakers including Nick Thorpe, journalist and author of the book "Eight Men and a Duck - An Improbable Voyage by Reed Boat to Easter Island". 

Thanks to the support of everyone attending, Journey Latin America have just presented a cheque for £400 to the Galapagos Conservation Trust, to go towards conservation projects in Galapagos. 

GCT would like to say a very big thank you to Journey Latin America for organising such a successful and enjoyable series of events.
