Tanzania • August 2-15, 2008
Travelers on the 2008 Professional Development Tour to Tanzania visited primary and secondary schools in rural areas and the city of Arusha. The tour also included a safari in the northern game parks of Tanzania.
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 presented books to schools in which many students had never before held a book. The books were selected in advance to ensure that schools received precisely the books their students needed. |
