Itinerary
You'll learn all about TST's work empowering the local community, especially keeping orphaned and vulnerable children in families and caring for them when that isn't possible.
A market visit is a great chance to stretch your legs and learn about how people live on a daily basis. You should go for the experience and not specifically to buy. The market is noisy and can be overwhelming, but exciting and shows how families really live. You'll also learn about TST's work empowering the local community, and throughout the day, I will teach you about the Meru tribal culture and history. You can also add on a Tanzanian lunch at our site for $10 extra per person.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.
