Tanzania -- August 2008 -- Educator-to-Educator Professional Development Tour

Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity to support Tanzania's efforts to provide basic education for all of its children. Join the group headed to Tanzania, August 2-15, 2008.

In addition to visiting primary and secondary schools in the city of Arusha, in a rural area, and in the bush, participants will visit some very special parts of the northern game parks of Tanzania for a safari adventure they will never forget. With millions of animals roaming in the wild, Tanzania offers some of the best wildlife-spotting opportunities in the world.

Tanzania is working to provide equitable access to high-quality education for boys and girls and universal literacy among women and men, a daunting mission in a country with limited resources. In many areas, schools have no books or other basic supplies. During school visits, participants will present books to schools in which many students have never before held a book. The books have been selected in advance to ensure that schools will receive precisely the books their students need.

This remarkable journey to a beautiful land with warm, friendly people and stunning wildlife will capture your heart. The trip is limited to 15 participants, so don't delay.

COST FOR THE TRIP IS $7,700 AND INCLUDES:

  • Round trip coach-class airfare from New York
  • Shared hotel accommodations for 11 nights
  • Eleven breakfasts, nine lunches, and eight dinners
  • Meetings and discussions with Tanzanian educators and high-level education officials
  • Educational visits to scheduled schools and other institutions, and informative lectures

  • Transfers and sightseeing by Land Rover with experienced drivers/guides
  • Entrance fees and attractions on the established itinerary
