Global Outreach Program
Students and adult volunteers from the SF Bay Area travel to locations in Africa where they can participate in community projects (see our Africa projects) and directly experience the meaning and value of cultural diversity. Our next trip is planned for 2008. Join us in Tanzania. Open to anyone interested in helping our cause. For more information go to our News & Events section or contact us.
