Global Outreach Program - Summer 2008
Shirati, Tanzania


Cost: $4500 for 3 weeks. This Includes the air travel, land transportation, room and board, and travel through Serengeti National Park.

We believe that the cost of the entire trip is tax deductible, but you should consult with a tax advisor to make sure that this applies to your situation.

There will be two travel groups this Summer:

• Group 1 leaves on June 14 or 15, 2008, and returns on July 7

• Group 2 leaves on July 4 and returns on July 28

Both groups arrive in Arusha, Tanzania, instead of Nairobi, Kenya, as originally planned. Because of the current unrest in Kenya, it seems safer not to plan on arriving in Nairobi and then making a long drive to the border with TanzaniaBoth groups arrive in Arusha, Tanzania. Arusha is near Kilimanjaro. The drive from Arusha to Shirati goes through the Serengeti, the great game preserve, so both on the way to Shirati and coming back, there will be an opportunity to see the wild animals the Serengeti is famous for..

If you are interested in traveling with one of the groups, please contact us and submit an application. Once your application is accepted, you will be asked to send an immediate deposit of $500 to reserve a place. Shortly after that, you will need to pay for your trip in full. The travel groups are limited in size, and there is very little space left.

You can have others donate to AISCS on your behalf and we will count their donation towards the cost of your trip. Your donors will need to specify that they are making a contribution on your behalf.

They can do this by going to the AISCS Donation page.

Please contact us at info@aiscs.org, if you would like more information about the trip. Let us know if you would like us to contact you by phone.
