The ability to work alongside local villagers in the community was something I'll never forget.

The experiences and level of thought put into each part of the trip was incredible. The ability to work alongside local villagers in the community was something I'll never forget. Also loved the soccer game, playing with the kids and the safari.

I couldn't be happier with the program experience.

I traveled to Tanzania with my school, I couldn't be happier with the program experience. Prior to even leaving, Emily was so patient with us and then on the program Penita, Vann, and Dannie were the best!!!
