JOIN THE ADVENTURE IN 2011: After seven years of fundraising journeys Girls on Top are widening our focus as we invite a new team to join us in 2011 to discover how making a difference to others is the surest way to making a difference in your own life.
The invitation - If you have medical qualifications, are a final year student, have health or community skills in an allied area or would like to volunteer to bring primary health, education and a positive non-invasive contribution to the original people of the Amazon rainforest, we would like to hear from you.
Amazon 2011 - Health and Happiness Outreach Expediton Girls on Top invite a team of health workers including doctors, dentists, teachers and others who can contrubute to a volunteer team heading deep into the Peruvian Amazon in 2011 for 2 - 4 weeks to provide medical, personal and social health to isolated villages in the Pacaya Samiria Reserve in the Amazon Basin. We are extending our focus on this year's expedition to include yoga teachers, massage practitioners and those keen to create and lead community and personal development activities as part of this year's crew.
The journey - travel by plane, bus, boat and dugout to serve village communities medical, dental and general health while experiencing for yourself the wonders of the Amazon and a way of life that holds many rewards for the few Westerners who have set foot (or muddy gumboot) in the region.
The expedition will be co-ordinated by the Peru-based, USA-backed medical charity, Amazon Promise which specialises in liaising with village elders, international leaders in medical care and providing logisitics for medical expeditions every year in this most remote and magical wilderness.
The conditions will range from truly rustic jungle accommodations to the olde-world 'glamour' of the Amazon's famous rubber-boom city, Iquitos, in which we will be based.
The opportunity includes the chance to re-kindle your original passion for health care, set foot in wilderness where few explorers travel, and share in discussion with leading medical and shamanic healers around the theme where Science meets Nature.
Trip Dates: Please write to Girls on Top for trip detials and options to extend to visit Cusco & Machu Picchu or shorten for your timeframes.
Trip Costs: $3,000 [plus flights] *costs include all medical provisions and logistics, accommodation, transport, food on expedition and seminars featuring Australian, Peruvian and Shaman speakers discussing Where Science Meets Nature

Girls on Top is a unique charitable leadership project which has provided life-changing opportunities for ordinary women with extra-ordinary goals since 2004. In 2009 we took a break from our high altitude mountaineering expeditions to check in our goals, and explore what we have learnt along the way. Since 2010 we have been using our resources and networks to support medical professionals and those who would support them in an expedition to take their skills directly to the people of the Amazon, who we have seen return those who join us with gifts of their own. Volunteers on our team are able to use their skills and experience to make an immediate difference to people who give back a profound insight to the simplicty, dignity, gratitude and joy at the heart of the human experience. If that sounds refreshing - please join us.

We intend for our journeys to inspire, encourage and motivate people everywhere to climb their personal mountains with courage, compassion and love for this journey called life .. happy trails. xx
Since our first climb of Kilimanjaro in support of a tiny Zimbabwe orphange in 2004, five teams of inspiring women have joined our high altitude fund raising adventures to learn more about themselves as they make a difference to others.
Girls on Top have traveled from the Andes to the Amazon, summited the roof of Africa and climbed the remote flanks of the Tibetan ranges. Our teams have hosted events ranging from yoga weekends and fashion parades, to film nights and art exhibitions as they explore ways to use their passions on behalf of our charity partners. Our journeys have enabled us to raise almost $100,000 for grassroots projects lead by women with a vision to support and enrich life in these regions.
