You will be renovating and building classrooms, improving agricultural education and income for the schools and community, as well as organising sports days and informal teaching in the local schools. The village community are friendly and welcoming and in desperate need of help. This is a unique opportunity to experience Tanzanian village life and directly help rural villages to improve the livelihoods and future of their children. Learn Swahili - and practice it buying food at the local markets.

excited?

how can you not be?

What better way to spend the weekends?  Safari-ing in one of Africa's premier game parks, relaxing on the shores of Lake Babati or traveling deep into the bush to live with the Maasai.  The weekends are a great chance to let your hair down, drop an email to friends and family or take a step back and reflect on what you have managed to complete and why you are doing it.  The perfect end to a week of hard work.
