Don't allow Africa to become the forgotten continent!

In the past, Africa has been to referred as the “forgotten continent” and sadly with so much going on in the world this may well again be true.

However, my experience with people in countries like Kenya, Uganda, South Africa and Ghana has been one of joy, perseverance, and resilience. Not the poverty pornography that has been displayed across our TV screens. Working in partnership with people in need can be such an illuminating, loving, and rewarding experience.
I just got back from spending time with communities in Kenya and Uganda and my passion has been refuelled. I was touched once again by the power of personal connection and I urge everyone to please consider a volunteer placement today. Whether or not you can give two weeks or ten weeks of your time, you can make a difference and change the lives of those in need.

Please review our program options and help put Africa back in focus:
