At first, every adventure is always about ourselves and what we want from it. Then you realise that there are others out there that need help and the focus of the adventure changes. An idea starts to grow of how you can best help those you meet who have so little, but give so much.
Assistance is of no value unless it can build a stronger community and be sustainable. A fly-in, fly-out adventure increases your own personal gratification, but what good has it really done a community?
At No Roads Expedition Foundation, we approach things a little differently, working to improve the lives of disadvantaged people in PNG, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Indonesia by building community capacity.
Pretty simple really. No egos, no ownership of turf, no hidden agendas. Our focus, to work on projects that help people to help themselves.
