Tapescript
@ James is going away this summer. He's going to egypt with his family. They're going diving in the Red Sea for five days. They're staying with his aunt and uncle, who work for a delphin consevation society in Greece, for a fortnight. They've got two boys about the same age as James. He will be able to go out with them. He's really looking forward to seeing the dolphins in the wild.
@ Helen is going on holiday with her older brother, David. She's going to india for a month with an organisation called Global Challenge, which arranges adventure holidays abroad. She is going to help old people or work with children.

Global Challenge Holidays
@ Global Challenge will give you an adventure holiday – and you will give something to the community you join. Our expeditions last for a month. Our friendly instructors will train you before you leave and will help you all the time you are away. Global Challenge arranges expeditions to 30 countries. Here are two people's experiences:
@ James Hammond, from Australia, is in India. This is what he says about his experience: Before I came, I thought life in a small village with no television and a strange language would be difficult. But it hasn't been difficult at all. We've helped in a home for children with disabilities. We've had invitations for meals with Indian families. Our instructor Michael has taken us for a day's sailing on the Indian Ocean.
@ Olivia Owen, from London, is in Egypt. This is what she says: The Mediterranean coast of Egypt is beautiful and has a wonderful climate. I've spent a lot of time here helping a tortoise conservation society. The Egyptian tortoise is one of the smallest and rarest tortoises in the world. Unfortunately, people are building on many of the places where the tortoises usually live, so we are finding new, safe homes for them to live in.

- Because it is very rare and people are building on many of the places where it usually lives.
What has Olivia done to help the tortoises?
- She has been finding new, safe homes for them to live in.
What kind of training would James and Olivia need before they went to India and Egypt?
- James would need to learn how to help children with disabilities. Olivia would have to learn how to help tortoises. They would also need to learn how to adapt to their new cultures.
How do you think the Global challenge instructors help the young people during the expedition?
- They probably check that they are happy and healthy and help them with any questions or worries they may have.
What differences would James notice between life in an Indian village and life in Australia?
- In India, he would not have the comforts and modern conveniences of Australia - there would be no television, may be no electricity, etc….. .
What do you think James and Olivia's experience will teach them about themselves and life?
- They will probably learn that people live very different lives, that animals and people need help and protection, and that helping people and animals can be rewarding.
Do you think life would be difficult in a small village with no television?
- No, although they would have to find other forms of entertainment and information.
Why do you think the language was not a problem for James?

How do you think James helped in the home for children with disabilities?
- He could have taught them or entertained them, or taken them on outings or helped to feed and dress them.
Unusual hotel for Prince Charles and Camilla
@ When the British queen's son, Prince Charles, and his wife Camilla came to Egypt in March 2006, they spent a night in an unusual hotel on the edge of the Sahara Desert. The Adrere Amellal Ecolodge is an environmentally friendly hotel that has no electricity. People who stay there are given locally-grown food.
@ The day before, Prince Charles had visited the oasis town of Siwa close to Libya. With Siwa having a midday temperature of 35 degrees, he did everything he could to keep cool, wearing a hat and staying out of the sun. Camilla spent time talking to a group of local women and then looked round the market.
@ Prince Charles and Camilla were in Egypt as part of a tour of the Middle East. On their visit, they also went to an animal hospital in Cairo, which looks after horses injured in road accidents, and they visited Al-Azhar University, one of the oldest universities in the world.
