We will be staying in the village of Boma Ng'ombe, in the Hai District between Arusha and Moshi, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in the Northern part of Tanzania. Boma Ng'ombe boasts a population of 20,000. It is home to the Chagga, Maasai and Pare tribes.
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa, measuring 5,963 metres. It is 330 kilometers south of the equator.
Our hosts, Cross Cultural Solutions has provided us with a great deal of support and information about our upcoming venture. They will provide our meals, accommodations, transportation to our work sites daily, and offer cultural activities for volunteers to learn more about the area we are working in.
Our volunteer placement will provide us with the opportunity to work with children and youth in this area. We hope that through this experience we can enrich their lives, as we know this experience will enrich our own.
With only days to go before our trip, the level of anticipation is growing.
