Description

Home to some of the most magnificent and spectacular wildlife, ancient and mysterious tribal communities, vast expanses of savannah, tropical blue oceans and imposing mountain landscapes, Tanzania will surpass all expectations. Big game species roam the plains and gorges where early human skeletons lie undiscovered while Mount Kilimanjaro challenges all who behold her. The waters of the Indian Ocean caress the shores of Tanzania and hold a staggeringly diverse range of species, from curious invertebrates to gigantic whale sharks and manta rays gliding silently over the coral reefs.

* What Will I Be Doing?

You will be working alongside the in country team helping to raise funds for numerous projects that benefit the local communities, schools and orphanages. You will also have the opportunity to spend some time on the front line of these active projects, interacting with the people making it happen and the people benefiting; and getting first hand experience and a real understanding of the projects which you are supporting.

You will also get the opportunity to take part in additional community support work such as making home visits to the villages and underprivileged communities and to support general information and education tasks in the schools and women's groups, as well as HIV awareness. In Africa the local communities face many problems such as malnutrition and poor hygiene, HIV and similar problems that do not play such a prominent role in Western countries. This project will provide you with a unique chance to learn what social care and education really means in developing countries.
