The Group went backpacking from North to South. From one peak to another. From mainland to an island. And, from large to smaller islands. The Group had also touched lives of children through an outreach program.
Those major activities were documented in this blogsite and the Group is looking forward to creating another fulfilling year.
Let us have a glance on what The BACKPACKERS had in 2011...
