Struggling to help the gapper with their travel plans through covid? We can help.
Dear Gappers and Parents,
Against all the odds, we are one of the few companies to have sent hundreds of gappers away this year to glorious destinations across Africa and Central America either through our team programs or through our lockdown hero Leap VIP. Travelling responsibly and being covid aware being at the forefront of our mind.
How have we done this you might well ask, when the country was in lockdown? Well, it hasn’t been easy but it has been an exciting, dynamic journey involving the HOUSE OF LORDS, confirming that Leap programs were legally permitted through the volunteering, education caveat, BESPOKE INSURANCE to cover FCDO advice, EXTENSIVE RISK ASSESSMENTS, with our overseas partners abroad, LEAP TEAM BUBBLES and the COLLABORATION of many supportive families.
It has been the most exciting year and we have learnt to be nimble and solution orientated to keep up with ever changing hurdles of PCR tests, border closures, flight cancellations, red lists and quarantine. I think we can officially say we are now covid travel experts.
We are immensely proud of what we have achieved, rescuing many projects from the brink of collapse and are all set for the class of 21/22 gappers. Sadly we predict the covid chaos is going to be with us for some time, so we are poised to help you navigate and get away.
What we propose you do is join Leap VIP, our travel resource, which will give you all the latest travel advice, a zoom chat with me to mull over your plans and if you know you want to do a Leap program – put your name down as soon as possible, no-one likes to be on a waiting list.
