Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well. We return to our hotel for our final night in Galapagos together and enjoy dinner.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/Galapagos2016/Day6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"395\"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\r\n<td>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #00133f; font-weight: bold;\">DAY 7: April 16th - Galapagos - Quito\r\n</span>\r\nAfter breakfast in the hotel, we transfer to Baltra’s airport at 9:00 A.M.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well. We return to our hotel for our final night in Galapagos together and enjoy dinner.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/Galapagos2016/Day6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"395\"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\r\n<td>&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #00133f; font-weight: bold;\">DAY 7: April 16th - Galapagos - Quito\r\n</span>\r\nAfter breakfast in the hotel, we transfer to Baltra’s airport at 9:00 A.M.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well.

Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal.

The tortoises migrate here in search of cooler shaded area, water holes, and places to lay their eggs. Here you will have the opportunity to get up close to these incredible reptiles.

You can also snorkel in Lobería where you can see sea lions, marine iguanas on the shores, and reefs of the bay. Return to Puerto Ayora afterwards. One of the other unique birds of this island is the Floreana Mockingbird, now only found on two small islets of the main island.

It is named after the white-tip sharks known as “Tintoreras” who come daily to rest on the bottom of the clear water.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well.

If there is good weather, you are able to see the main elevations of the Andes Mountain chain such as: Cayambe, Antisana, Cotopaxi, Pasochoa, and Rumiñahui. You will then be driven up to the “Middle of the World City” (entrance included) where the monument that divides the Northern from the Southern Hemisphere will be visited.

The passengers are greeted by guides at Baltra’s airport and transferred to the Santa Cruz Island by a short bus ride. On the road, you will visit Rancho Primicia, another giant tortoise reserve on private property in the Galapagos. The ranch is located against national park lands. The tortoises migrate here in search of cooler shaded area, water holes, and places to lay their eggs. Here you will have the opportunity to get up close to these incredible reptiles. Primicia is an excellent opportunity to take some amazing photos of these gentle giants.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dinner and Overnight at Sol y Mar Hotel.

You can also snorkel in Lobería where you can see sea lions, marine iguanas on the shores, and reefs of the bay. Return to Puerto Ayora afterwards. One of the other unique birds of this island is the Floreana Mockingbird, now only found on two small islets of the main island. Other marine life includes white-tip sharks, large rays, sea turtles, sea lions, pelagic, reef fish, and various invertebrates. We return to enjoy dinner and a relaxing evening at Sol y Mar Hotel.

It is named after the white-tip sharks known as “Tintoreras” who come daily to rest on the bottom of the clear water.

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well. We return to our hotel for our final night in Galapagos together and enjoy dinner.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</strong>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/Galapagos2016/Day6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"395\">\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #00133f; font-weight: bold;\">DAY 7: April 16th - Galapagos - Quito\r\n</span>\r\nAfter breakfast in the hotel, we transfer to Baltra’s airport at 9:00 A.M.

Her organisation currently supports over 40 needy children, mainly picked from the street. (Courtesy)</p></div><p>“All the believers were united in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions were their own, but they shared everything they had,” reads Acts 4:32 of the Bible.</p><p>However, it is one thing reading the Bible and feeling reassured as a Christian, and quite another when a single verse actually inspires someone to start something to help others.</p><p>But that is precisely how Acts4Rwanda, a local non-governmental organisation that helps needy and vulnerable children in and around Kigali, was formed towards the end of 2013 by four friends.</p><p>Lynda Weir, Acts4Rwanda principle founder and executive director, is based in Little Rock, Arkansas, US, where she does most of the fundraising to raise money to support her charity work in Kigali.</p><p>Mama Lynda, as she is fondly known among the children her organisation helps, was in Kigali recently to check on the activities of her charity. It is then that she had a conversation with <em>The New Times</em> about her love for Rwanda.</p><p>Her story is one of pure compassion for children, a trait which has given her a special status; an American mother with Rwandan children.</p><p><strong>Getting started</strong></p><p>Mama Lynda had been coming to Rwanda regularly since 2008 to partake in activities of a Rwamagana-based Ministry called Lighthouse Children’s Home in which her daughter Amanda was serving.</p><p>But a 2013 incident has since deepened her relationship with Rwanda and inspired her to start Acts4Rwanda, which now supports the school and welfare needs of over 40 children from needy households.</p><p>The incident happened in the living room of a local friend’s house in Kimironko, a Kigali suburb.</p><p>It was a Saturday afternoon in mid-2013, and the friend, a one Samuel, had invited, like he often did, about 16 street children that frequented the Kimironko market dump for a rare lunch.</p><p>“I looked into their eyes and they looked completely helpless and I thought the Lord was speaking to us through this moment,” Mama Lynda reminisces.</p><p>They had lunch with the children, told them a few stories in the Bible and assured them that someone up in the skies (God), cared and loved them.</p><p>After the encounter, Lynda left Kigali and returned to the US, but she admits that her thoughts actually stayed in that room in Kimironko; her mind kept replaying the images of the children, happy and joyous in spite of their circumstances.</p><p>“I thought it was our responsibility to assist them and, in November 2013, I came back, with a plan,” she recollects.</p><p>Like they say, the rest is history. The present is about Acts4Rwanda, a fast-expanding charity that currently supports over 40 children from vulnerable and needy backgrounds through school.</p><p><strong>Mama Lynda</strong></p><p>For Lynda, Rwanda is now a major part of her life.

Her organisation currently supports over 40 needy children, mainly picked from the street. (Courtesy)\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n“All the believers were united in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions were their own, but they shared everything they had,” reads Acts 4:32 of the Bible.\r\n\r\nHowever, it is one thing reading the Bible and feeling reassured as a Christian, and quite another when a single verse actually inspires someone to start something to help others.\r\n\r\nBut that is precisely how Acts4Rwanda, a local non-governmental organisation that helps needy and vulnerable children in and around Kigali, was formed towards the end of 2013 by four friends.\r\n\r\nLynda Weir, Acts4Rwanda principle founder and executive director, is based in Little Rock, Arkansas, US, where she does most of the fundraising to raise money to support her charity work in Kigali.\r\n\r\nMama Lynda, as she is fondly known among the children her organisation helps, was in Kigali recently to check on the activities of her charity. It is then that she had a conversation with <em>The New Times</em> about her love for Rwanda.\r\n\r\nHer story is one of pure compassion for children, a trait which has given her a special status; an American mother with Rwandan children.\r\n\r\n<strong>Getting started</strong>\r\n\r\nMama Lynda had been coming to Rwanda regularly since 2008 to partake in activities of a Rwamagana-based Ministry called Lighthouse Children’s Home in which her daughter Amanda was serving.\r\n\r\nBut a 2013 incident has since deepened her relationship with Rwanda and inspired her to start Acts4Rwanda, which now supports the school and welfare needs of over 40 children from needy households.\r\n\r\nThe incident happened in the living room of a local friend’s house in Kimironko, a Kigali suburb.\r\n\r\nIt was a Saturday afternoon in mid-2013, and the friend, a one Samuel, had invited, like he often did, about 16 street children that frequented the Kimironko market dump for a rare lunch.\r\n\r\n“I looked into their eyes and they looked completely helpless and I thought the Lord was speaking to us through this moment,” Mama Lynda reminisces.\r\n\r\nThey had lunch with the children, told them a few stories in the Bible and assured them that someone up in the skies (God), cared and loved them.\r\n\r\nAfter the encounter, Lynda left Kigali and returned to the US, but she admits that her thoughts actually stayed in that room in Kimironko; her mind kept replaying the images of the children, happy and joyous in spite of their circumstances.\r\n\r\n“I thought it was our responsibility to assist them and, in November 2013, I came back, with a plan,” she recollects.\r\n\r\nLike they say, the rest is history. The present is about Acts4Rwanda, a fast-expanding charity that currently supports over 40 children from vulnerable and needy backgrounds through school.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mama Lynda</strong>\r\n\r\nFor Lynda, Rwanda is now a major part of her life. But there is also a background to it.\r\n\r\nHer ‘Mama Lynda’ title was given to her by the first batch of beneficiaries that went to study in the US on the Presidential Scholarship programme. That was around 2008.\r\n\r\n“Many of the Rwandan scholars who arrived in my hometown, Little Rock, were in cultural shock and needed to be inducted into the American way of life. I saw a need which we quickly formalised into a formal host programme,” she said.\r\n\r\nThe host programme worked in a way that Rwandan scholarship beneficiaries, once in the US, would be linked to families willing to host them as their own children and help them during their stay.\r\n\r\nOver the years, Lynda says she has played hostess to a number of Rwandan students studying in the US and they subsequently got used to calling her ‘Mama’ (Mother/mum), a role she says she enjoys.\r\n\r\nHer title of Mama was cemented further when her daughter Amanda fell in love and got married, about two years ago, to Prosper Majyambere, one of the beneficiaries of the Presidential Scholarship.\r\n\r\nMajyambere was not among Lynda’s Rwandan students in her care; he was enrolled in another university located far away from Little Rock.\r\n\r\nBut as nature would have it, Majyambere met Amanda in Washington, during a youth leadership conference where both were representing their colleges.\r\n\r\n“They got to know each other, developed a friendship and one year ago, they got married and my daughter became Amanda Majyambere,” Lynda narrates.\r\n<div class=\"pos-image\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.newtimes.co.rw/files/photos/1437512312Mama-2.jpg\" alt=\"1437512312Mama-2\" />\r\n<div class=\"inner-caption\">Mama Lynda (R) with some of the children under her charity\'s care.

Her organisation currently supports over 40 needy children, mainly picked from the street. (Courtesy)\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n“All the believers were united in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions were their own, but they shared everything they had,” reads Acts 4:32 of the Bible.\r\n\r\nHowever, it is one thing reading the Bible and feeling reassured as a Christian, and quite another when a single verse actually inspires someone to start something to help others.\r\n\r\nBut that is precisely how Acts4Rwanda, a local non-governmental organisation that helps needy and vulnerable children in and around Kigali, was formed towards the end of 2013 by four friends.\r\n\r\nLynda Weir, Acts4Rwanda principle founder and executive director, is based in Little Rock, Arkansas, US, where she does most of the fundraising to raise money to support her charity work in Kigali.\r\n\r\nMama Lynda, as she is fondly known among the children her organisation helps, was in Kigali recently to check on the activities of her charity. It is then that she had a conversation with <em>The New Times</em> about her love for Rwanda.\r\n\r\nHer story is one of pure compassion for children, a trait which has given her a special status; an American mother with Rwandan children.\r\n\r\n<strong>Getting started</strong>\r\n\r\nMama Lynda had been coming to Rwanda regularly since 2008 to partake in activities of a Rwamagana-based Ministry called Lighthouse Children’s Home in which her daughter Amanda was serving.\r\n\r\nBut a 2013 incident has since deepened her relationship with Rwanda and inspired her to start Acts4Rwanda, which now supports the school and welfare needs of over 40 children from needy households.\r\n\r\nThe incident happened in the living room of a local friend’s house in Kimironko, a Kigali suburb.\r\n\r\nIt was a Saturday afternoon in mid-2013, and the friend, a one Samuel, had invited, like he often did, about 16 street children that frequented the Kimironko market dump for a rare lunch.\r\n\r\n“I looked into their eyes and they looked completely helpless and I thought the Lord was speaking to us through this moment,” Mama Lynda reminisces.\r\n\r\nThey had lunch with the children, told them a few stories in the Bible and assured them that someone up in the skies (God), cared and loved them.\r\n\r\nAfter the encounter, Lynda left Kigali and returned to the US, but she admits that her thoughts actually stayed in that room in Kimironko; her mind kept replaying the images of the children, happy and joyous in spite of their circumstances.\r\n\r\n“I thought it was our responsibility to assist them and, in November 2013, I came back, with a plan,” she recollects.\r\n\r\nLike they say, the rest is history. The present is about Acts4Rwanda, a fast-expanding charity that currently supports over 40 children from vulnerable and needy backgrounds through school.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mama Lynda</strong>\r\n\r\nFor Lynda, Rwanda is now a major part of her life. But there is also a background to it.\r\n\r\nHer ‘Mama Lynda’ title was given to her by the first batch of beneficiaries that went to study in the US on the Presidential Scholarship programme. That was around 2008.\r\n\r\n“Many of the Rwandan scholars who arrived in my hometown, Little Rock, were in cultural shock and needed to be inducted into the American way of life. I saw a need which we quickly formalised into a formal host programme,” she said.\r\n\r\nThe host programme worked in a way that Rwandan scholarship beneficiaries, once in the US, would be linked to families willing to host them as their own children and help them during their stay.\r\n\r\nOver the years, Lynda says she has played hostess to a number of Rwandan students studying in the US and they subsequently got used to calling her ‘Mama’ (Mother/mum), a role she says she enjoys.\r\n\r\nHer title of Mama was cemented further when her daughter Amanda fell in love and got married, about two years ago, to Prosper Majyambere, one of the beneficiaries of the Presidential Scholarship.\r\n\r\nMajyambere was not among Lynda’s Rwandan students in her care; he was enrolled in another university located far away from Little Rock.\r\n\r\nBut as nature would have it, Majyambere met Amanda in Washington, during a youth leadership conference where both were representing their colleges.\r\n\r\n“They got to know each other, developed a friendship and one year ago, they got married and my daughter became Amanda Majyambere,” Lynda narrates.\r\n<div class=\"pos-image\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.newtimes.co.rw/files/photos/1437512312Mama-2.jpg\" alt=\"1437512312Mama-2\" />\r\n<div class=\"inner-caption\">Mama Lynda (R) with some of the children under her charity\'s care. (Courtesy)</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Charity call</strong>\r\n\r\nNow mother and daughter are deep into charity work here in Rwanda. They recently secured a small grant to expand their interventions and help more needy children by sponsoring them in school.\r\n\r\nDavid Alireki is the Charity’s country director overseeing all field activities and ensuring that the support sent in from compassionate hearts abroad actually reaches and impacts the beneficiaries.\r\n\r\nThe Charity’s long term plan is to start its own school where they can offer the children a full package of life skills and spiritual wisdom to nurture them into productive citizens.\r\n\r\nEarly this year, the Charity took on two children who were seemingly homeless, roaming Kimironko neighbourhoods without a care.\r\n\r\n“They had never set a foot in class,” says Alireki.\r\n\r\nNow that is shocking to hear in a country like Rwanda with one of the highest primary school enrollment levels.\r\n\r\n“The head teachers could not also understand how any parent would fail to enroll their kid in a school. But such is the need we are serving – contributing to the Government’s efforts so giving every kid access to education,” Alireki explains.\r\n\r\nOn Mama Lynda’s team is a one Emily Perrone, Acts4Rwanda’s head of operations and sponsorship.\r\n\r\nThe team’s work involves sending e-mails, writing letters and hold fundraising ceremonies to raise resources to keep needy children like 15-year-old Consolate and 22-year-old Fredrick in school and help them attain their career dreams.\r\n\r\nConsolate, who wants to be a doctor in future, was in Senior Two and on the verge of dropping out of school due to lack of tuition fees when Acts4Rwanda took her on. She is now in Senior Three.\r\n\r\n“I am thankful to Acts4Rwanda because they have kept me in school, but most of all, they showed me love and for the first time in my life, I feel valued as a child,” she says.\r\n\r\nFredrick’s story is similar to Consolate’s. He had dropped out of school, abandoned his village in Ruhengeri District and come to Kigali to do menial jobs to raise money to look after his ailing 92-year-old grandmother.\r\n\r\n“Acts4Rwanda has helped me return to school and I am now confident that I will complete secondary school and go on to become an engineer,” he said.\r\n\r\nMost of the children benefiting from Acts4Rwanda activities are from single mothers or widows. Because of their tragic circumstances, many of the children often end up taking to the streets for a livelihood.\r\n\r\nThere are various efforts by the Government to address the plight of street children, but the need is huge and charities such as Acts4Rwanda are attempting to fill that gap, according to Alireki.\r\n\r\nOne of the charity’s biggest challenges, however, is how to raise more resources to meet the present need – to put and keep vulnerable children under its care in school\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]','Giving Back','','inherit','closed','closed','','405-revision-v1','','','2015-10-28 07:08:13','2015-10-28 07:08:13','',405,'http://famtrips.travel/405-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0,'index, follow'),(910,2,'2015-11-16 19:54:45','2015-11-16 19:54:45','','CostaRica2016Header','','inherit','closed','closed','','costarica2016header','','','2015-11-16 19:54:45','2015-11-16 19:54:45','',0,'http://famtrips.travel/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/CostaRica2016Header.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0,NULL),(914,2,'2015-11-17 10:10:46','2015-11-17 10:10:46','[et_pb_section transparent_background=\"off\" background_color=\"#250305\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" inner_shadow=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" make_equal=\"off\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\"][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"on\" width_unit=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800px\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" make_equal=\"off\" background_color=\"#ffffff\" padding_top_1=\"20px\" padding_left_1=\"20px\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\nExperience the \"Pura Vida\" with FAMTrips.travel!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/CostaRica2016/CostaRica2016Header.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"754\" /></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\r\n<td align=\"left\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: left;\">Join Gary and Melody Fee of FAMTrips.travel as they show you to the pristine beauty of this \"land of biodiversity.\" Costa Rica, known for its volcanoes, coffee, sport fishing, exquisite beaches, and lovely resorts, is also known for its spas, healing thermal waters and its pure life or Pura Vida!

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well.

If there is good weather, you are able to see the main elevations of the Andes Mountain chain such as: Cayambe, Antisana, Cotopaxi, Pasochoa, and Rumiñahui.

The passengers are greeted by guides at Baltra’s airport and transferred to the Santa Cruz Island by a short bus ride. On the road, you will visit Rancho Primicia, another giant tortoise reserve on private property in the Galapagos. The ranch is located against national park lands. The tortoises migrate here in search of cooler shaded area, water holes, and places to lay their eggs. Here you will have the opportunity to get up close to these incredible reptiles. Primicia is an excellent opportunity to take some amazing photos of these gentle giants.\n\n<strong>Dinner and Overnight at Sol y Mar Hotel.

You can also snorkel in Lobería where you can see sea lions, marine iguanas on the shores, and reefs of the bay. Return to Puerto Ayora afterwards. One of the other unique birds of this island is the Floreana Mockingbird, now only found on two small islets of the main island. Other marine life includes white-tip sharks, large rays, sea turtles, sea lions, pelagic, reef fish, and various invertebrates. We return to enjoy dinner and a relaxing evening at Sol y Mar Hotel.

We will take a speed boat to the Isabela Island, where we sail to Tintoreras Islet. It is named after the white-tip sharks known as “Tintoreras” who come daily to rest on the bottom of the clear water. You can also see penguins, sea lions, and marine iguanas and go snorkeling with sharks, as well as other colorful tropical fishes while enjoying the beaches of Isabela!

Quite a small island in terms of land mass, but Isla Seymour is definitely worth visiting. To explore the island, follow a circular trail roughly 2 km long leading inland and along the rocky coast that will take you through some of the biggest sea bird breeding colonies in the entire Galapagos. Here you will find birds nesting, mating, and rearing their chicks all year round. Blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are the main attractions here. Since most of the wildlife and birds in the Galapagos Islands are quite fearless, it is possible for visitors to get an up close view of the nests of many of the birds here, including the lovely Swallow-tailed Gulls and bright yellow Warblers. Lunch will be at a local restaurant. North Seymour Island is located immediately north of Baltra Island, less than an hour from the Ithabaca Canal. The small, flat island was formed by seismic geographical uplifting. Colonies of sea lions, marine iguanas, large rays and land iguanas are also found here, along with many varieties of reef fish, as well. We return to our hotel for our final night in Galapagos together and enjoy dinner.\n\n<strong>Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</strong>\n\n<img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/Galapagos2016/Day6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"395\" />\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #00133f; font-weight: bold;\">DAY 7: April 16th - Galapagos - Quito\n</span>\nAfter breakfast in the hotel, we transfer to Baltra’s airport at 9:00 A.M.

See Plaza Vieja, one of Havana’s historic squares dating from the 16th century. It was once the site of a slave market. Next we visit Plaza de Iglesia and Convento de San Francisco de Asis, built between 1580 and 1591 and is one of the finest churches from the colonial period. We will stop for lunch at La Dominica restaurant (included). Continue to the Plaza de la Cathedral and Plaza de Armas where Old Havana originated. Here we find the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales, begun in 1776. This stately palace remains as a testament to Cuban’s importance as Spain’s principal port of the Americas during the 18th century.

The house, now a museum, contains more than 22,000 original items that belonged to the writer, including records, books, paintings, personal documents, weapons and photographs. Located 7 miles south of the center of Havana, this 4acre property gives visitors a good sense of the daily life and habits of Hemingway during his time in Cuba. Then it is on to the famous Hotel Nacional for lunch! (included). This art déco masterpiece was designed by the architects who designed the Breakwaters Hotel in Miami. The resemblance is striking. Our afternoon includes a fun visit to a Cigar Factory (you are now able to bring cigars back to the U.S.). We’ll talk with the men and women who are experts in the art of cigar making! And we conclude the day at the special Muraleando Neighborhood Community Project. Muraleando is a neighborhood and community that has literally been transformed by art. Starting in the 1990\'s, the community has embraced what we might call street art, covering just about every wall and home with murals and placing sculptures made from found objects as well. A nearby city dump supplied much of the material. It will be a special experience to meet with the members of the community. Our final very unique experience of the evening will be to meet a local salsa instructor to talk about the history of this native rhythm and the importance of dance in Cuban life, followed by a refreshing Mojito and a Salsa lesson!

We will enjoy lunch here in a private restaurant listening to the sounds of beautiful Cuban music. (Included).

The museum is housed in what was the Presidential Palace of all Cuban presidents from Mario García Menocal to Fulgencio Batista. It became the Museum of the Revolution during the years following the Cuban revolution. Close by is the Bellas Artes Museum that exhibits Cuban art collections from the colonial times up to contemporary generations.

Luis d’Clouet, along with French settlers and some Spanish Creole population established Cienfuegos on April 12, 1819. In 1829 the King of Spain gave it the title of Villa of Cienfuegos, because of the governor with that name for his efforts in developing the city. Very soon this city started to develop, rapidly linked to the production and marketing of the sugar cane industry. We will have a box lunch en route today. (Included). While in Cienfuegos, we will walk through the town and stop in the plaza - the “Jose Marti Park” - where the foundation of the city took place. There are many historic buildings to be seen, among them the Cathedral of Cienfuegos and the Opera House where Enrico Caruso and Sarah Barnhart performed.\r\n\r\nWe also will enjoy the beautiful sounds of the Cantores de Cienfuegos, an A Capella choir that has existed for many generations.

We will spend the morning walking and exploring the beautiful Colonial city of Trinidad, the fourth of the seven cities founded by Diego de Velasquez in 1514 as a base for the expeditions into the New World. Today it is maintained as a living museum, just as the Spaniards left it in its period of greatest opulence. The whole city, with its fine palaces, cobbled streets and red tiled roofs, is a national monument, and since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad’s prosperity rested on the sugar industry, which was introduced in the 18th century, however during the second half of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution and increased sugar beet production in Europe led to the decline of Trinidad’s slavery-based economy. Construction ceased and the city remains frozen in time. We will visit the Plaza Mayor, in the center of town, and elegantly adorned with glazed earthenware urns. Around the plaza are the Museo Romantico and the Iglesia Parroquil de la Santisima Trinidad, built between 1817 and 1892. This is the largest church in Cuba and renowned for its acoustics. Explore the Museo Romantico which houses a collection of romantic-style porcelain, glass, paintings and ornate furniture, which belonged to the Conde De Brunet family dating from 1830. For the more adventurous, climb up to the marvelous vista and visit the Antiqua Convento de San Francisco de Asis. The tower and church are all that remain of the original convent. Return to our hotel in Cienfuegos and have dinner in the hotel. Lunch is on your own today – there are many Paladars and restaurants to choose.

The house, now a museum, contains more than 22,000 original items that belonged to the writer, including records, books, paintings, personal documents, weapons and photographs. Located 7 miles south of the center of Havana, this 4acre property gives visitors a good sense of the daily life and habits of Hemingway during his time in Cuba.

Our afternoon includes a fun visit to a Cigar Factory (you are now able to bring cigars back to the U.S.). We’ll talk with the men and women who are experts in the art of cigar making! And we conclude the day at the special Muraleando Neighborhood Community Project. Muraleando is a neighborhood and community that has literally been transformed by art. Starting in the 1990\'s, the community has embraced what we might call street art, covering just about every wall and home with murals and placing sculptures made from found objects as well. A nearby city dump supplied much of the material. It will be a special experience to meet with the members of the community.

Today it is maintained as a living museum, just as the Spaniards left it in its period of greatest opulence. The whole city, with its fine palaces, cobbled streets and red tiled roofs, is a national monument, and since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad’s prosperity rested on the sugar industry, which was introduced in the 18th century, however during the second half of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution and increased sugar beet production in Europe led to the decline of Trinidad’s slavery-based economy. Construction ceased and the city remains frozen in time. We will visit the Plaza Mayor, in the center of town, and elegantly adorned with glazed earthenware urns. Around the plaza are the Museo Romantico and the Iglesia Parroquil de la Santisima Trinidad, built between 1817 and 1892. This is the largest church in Cuba and renowned for its acoustics. Explore the Museo Romantico which houses a collection of romantic-style porcelain, glass, paintings and ornate furniture, which belonged to the Conde De Brunet family dating from 1830. For the more adventurous, climb up to the marvelous vista and visit the Antiqua Convento de San Francisco de Asis. The tower and church are all that remain of the original convent.

Trinidad’s prosperity rested on the sugar industry, which was introduced in the 18th century, however during the second half of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution and increased sugar beet production in Europe led to the decline of Trinidad’s slavery-based economy. Construction ceased and the city remains frozen in time. We will visit the Plaza Mayor, in the center of town, and elegantly adorned with glazed earthenware urns. Around the plaza are the Museo Romantico and the Iglesia Parroquil de la Santisima Trinidad, built between 1817 and 1892. This is the largest church in Cuba and renowned for its acoustics. Explore the Museo Romantico which houses a collection of romantic-style porcelain, glass, paintings and ornate furniture, which belonged to the Conde De Brunet family dating from 1830. For the more adventurous, climb up to the marvelous vista and visit the Antiqua Convento de San Francisco de Asis. The tower and church are all that remain of the original convent. Return to our hotel in Cienfuegos and have dinner in the hotel. Lunch is on your own today – there are many Paladars and restaurants to choose.

Next we visit Plaza de Iglesia and Convento de San Francisco de Asis, built between 1580 and 1591 and is one of the finest churches from the colonial period. We will stop for lunch at La Dominica restaurant (included). Continue to the Plaza de la Cathedral and Plaza de Armas where Old Havana originated. Here we find the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales, begun in 1776. This stately palace remains as a testament to Cuban’s importance as Spain’s principal port of the Americas during the 18th century.

The house, now a museum, contains more than 22,000 original items that belonged to the writer, including records, books, paintings, personal documents, weapons and photographs. Located 7 miles south of the center of Havana, this 4acre property gives visitors a good sense of the daily life and habits of Hemingway during his time in Cuba. Then it is on to the famous Hotel Nacional for lunch! (included). This art déco masterpiece was designed by the architects who designed the Breakwaters Hotel in Miami. The resemblance is striking. Our afternoon includes a fun visit to a Cigar Factory (you are now able to bring cigars back to the U.S.). We’ll talk with the men and women who are experts in the art of cigar making! And we conclude the day at the special Muraleando Neighborhood Community Project. Muraleando is a neighborhood and community that has literally been transformed by art. Starting in the 1990\'s, the community has embraced what we might call street art, covering just about every wall and home with murals and placing sculptures made from found objects as well. A nearby city dump supplied much of the material. It will be a special experience to meet with the members of the community. Our final very unique experience of the evening will be to meet a local salsa instructor to talk about the history of this native rhythm and the importance of dance in Cuban life, followed by a refreshing Mojito and a Salsa lesson!

Luis d’Clouet, along with French settlers and some Spanish Creole population established Cienfuegos on April 12, 1819. In 1829 the King of Spain gave it the title of Villa of Cienfuegos, because of the governor with that name for his efforts in developing the city. Very soon this city started to develop, rapidly linked to the production and marketing of the sugar cane industry. We will have a box lunch en route today. (Included). While in Cienfuegos, we will walk through the town and stop in the plaza - the “Jose Marti Park” - where the foundation of the city took place. There are many historic buildings to be seen, among them the Cathedral of Cienfuegos and the Opera House where Enrico Caruso and Sarah Barnhart performed.\n\nWe also will enjoy the beautiful sounds of the Cantores de Cienfuegos, an A Capella choir that has existed for many generations.

See Plaza Vieja, one of Havana’s historic squares dating from the 16th century. It was once the site of a slave market. Next we visit Plaza de Iglesia and Convento de San Francisco de Asis, built between 1580 and 1591 and is one of the finest churches from the colonial period. We will stop for lunch at La Dominica restaurant (included). Continue to the Plaza de la Cathedral and Plaza de Armas where Old Havana originated. Here we find the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales, begun in 1776. This stately palace remains as a testament to Cuban’s importance as Spain’s principal port of the Americas during the 18th century. This evening we will enjoy dinner in a Paladar – private restaurant TBD (included).\r\n\r\n<strong>OVERNIGHT: QUINTA AVENIDA HOTEL, HAVANA</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/Cuba2016/Day3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"395\" /></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\r\n<td>&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDAY 4: Monday, Sept. 19th - HAVANA\r\n\r\nAfter breakfast, we will visit the house of the American writer Ernest Hemingway, who lived here from 1939 to 1960. The house, now a museum, contains more than 22,000 original items that belonged to the writer, including records, books, paintings, personal documents, weapons and photographs. Located 7 miles south of the center of Havana, this 4acre property gives visitors a good sense of the daily life and habits of Hemingway during his time in Cuba. Then it is on to the famous Hotel Nacional for lunch! (included). This art déco masterpiece was designed by the architects who designed the Breakwaters Hotel in Miami. The resemblance is striking. Our afternoon includes a fun visit to a Cigar Factory (you are now able to bring cigars back to the U.S.). We’ll talk with the men and women who are experts in the art of cigar making! And we conclude the day at the special Muraleando Neighborhood Community Project. Muraleando is a neighborhood and community that has literally been transformed by art. Starting in the 1990\'s, the community has embraced what we might call street art, covering just about every wall and home with murals and placing sculptures made from found objects as well. A nearby city dump supplied much of the material. It will be a special experience to meet with the members of the community. Our final very unique experience of the evening will be to meet a local salsa instructor to talk about the history of this native rhythm and the importance of dance in Cuban life, followed by a refreshing Mojito and a Salsa lesson! Dinner is on your own this evening – we will give recommendations.\r\n\r\n<strong>OVERNIGHT: QUINTA AVENIDA HOTEL, HAVANA</strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><img src=\"http://famtrips.travel/FAMS/Cuba2016/Day4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" /></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"800\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\r\n<td>&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDAY 5: Tuesday, Sept. 20th - DAY TRIP TO PINAR DEL RIO\r\n\r\nFollowing breakfast drive approximately one hour to the pioneering eco-village of Las Terrazas which dates back to a reforestation project in 1968. Today it’s a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, a burgeoning activity center and the site of the earliest surviving coffee plantations in Cuba. See how coffee was produced in times gone by. We will enjoy lunch here in a private restaurant listening to the sounds of beautiful Cuban music. (Included). We will have the opportunity to speak with these Cubanmusicians about living in this type of community. Return to Havana – relax and have Dinner in ‘La Cass” a Paladar (included).

Talk with the artist (to be confirmed) and his workers about Fuster’s vision for the future. We continue to the Museum of the Revolution. The museum is housed in what was the Presidential Palace of all Cuban presidents from Mario García Menocal to Fulgencio Batista. It became the Museum of the Revolution during the years following the Cuban revolution. Close by is the Bellas Artes Museum that exhibits Cuban art collections from the colonial times up to contemporary generations. Conclude the day at the large Arts and Crafts Flea Market housed in an old pier building – a great place to buy souvenirs and hear the stories of the artists. Our dinner is in a Paladar this evening.

Luis d’Clouet, along with French settlers and some Spanish Creole population established Cienfuegos on April 12, 1819. In 1829 the King of Spain gave it the title of Villa of Cienfuegos, because of the governor with that name for his efforts in developing the city. Very soon this city started to develop, rapidly linked to the production and marketing of the sugar cane industry. We will have a box lunch en route today. (Included). While in Cienfuegos, we will walk through the town and stop in the plaza - the “Jose Marti Park” - where the foundation of the city took place. There are many historic buildings to be seen, among them the Cathedral of Cienfuegos and the Opera House where Enrico Caruso and Sarah Barnhart performed.\r\n\r\nWe also will enjoy the beautiful sounds of the Cantores de Cienfuegos, an A Capella choir that has existed for many generations. Another special treat will be to meet with the members of the choir before we check in to our hotel.

We will spend the morning walking and exploring the beautiful Colonial city of Trinidad, the fourth of the seven cities founded by Diego de Velasquez in 1514 as a base for the expeditions into the New World. Today it is maintained as a living museum, just as the Spaniards left it in its period of greatest opulence. The whole city, with its fine palaces, cobbled streets and red tiled roofs, is a national monument, and since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad’s prosperity rested on the sugar industry, which was introduced in the 18th century, however during the second half of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution and increased sugar beet production in Europe led to the decline of Trinidad’s slavery-based economy. Construction ceased and the city remains frozen in time. We will visit the Plaza Mayor, in the center of town, and elegantly adorned with glazed earthenware urns. Around the plaza are the Museo Romantico and the Iglesia Parroquil de la Santisima Trinidad, built between 1817 and 1892. This is the largest church in Cuba and renowned for its acoustics. Explore the Museo Romantico which houses a collection of romantic-style porcelain, glass, paintings and ornate furniture, which belonged to the Conde De Brunet family dating from 1830. For the more adventurous, climb up to the marvelous vista and visit the Antiqua Convento de San Francisco de Asis. The tower and church are all that remain of the original convent. Return to our hotel in Cienfuegos and have dinner in the hotel. Lunch is on your own today – there are many Paladars and restaurants to choose.
