0 travelers are looking at this program
About Program
The Tandana Foundation is looking for a small group of dedicated and open-minded people to join an excursion to Mali, where we will spend time working with a village on a project that the village in assembly has designated a priority. We are looking for volunteers willing to come get dirty with us, live in local villages, and be amazed at the generosity and hospitality of new friends. Before and after our work, we will be rewarded with a tour of Mali’s spectacular and diverse countryside, meeting all kinds of people along the way, from fishermen to nomads, wood carvers to textile producers. This trip is an excellent opportunity to visit a remote, magnificent region, and simultaneously to give back by supporting local efforts.
