Description

Spend your summer living and volunteering in rural Africa! This will give you better understanding in sustainable development, questions of identity, questions of international justice, and the reality of working with policy implementation and human rights efforts on the ground with community based organizations and international non-governmental organizations.

The program will take place in the context of student opportunities to serve directly with local NGOs and with the local secondary school. Students will have the opportunity to partner with local Tanzanians on water harvesting efforts and improved agricultural techniques. Students will also have the chance to support teachers in classrooms at the local secondary school, particularly in English language instruction. Additionally, there will be opportunities to explore the country and culture through field trips and community events.
