Change The One is a simple vision of its founder, Peter Nicholls, that came about when inspecting the devastation of a Tsunami in Papua New Guinea back in 1997. An encounter with a group of children amidst this devastation made Peter realise that he did not need to change the world – he only needed to Change The One. Commencing with work in Papua New Guinea, the volunteer work has now been extended to Vietnam. Every Vietnam tour booking secured through the programs offered herein will release funds to Change The One.
