Kenya
Education tours and safari with Kenya educational and study cultural Tours
proffesionals
The
purpose of this trip is to take students back to the cradle of humanity
- not just to civilizations past, but to where humanity began - East Africa,
in part in Kenya. By being involved in this particular trip, students
will not only view the people and lifestyles of one of the most vibrant
countries in East Africa, they will have the chance to view one of the
most endangered ecosystems in the world.
Wealthy people, with their 'demand' for the exotic - some people included
-are killing the diversity of planet Earth. The fortunate students who
get to go on this trip will get to see sights that others will never see
because of the 'demand' for trophies or living space - and who, perhaps,
can blame some people for poaching to earn a living that is leading to
the extinction of species. This trip blends people and nature.
OBJECTIVES:
1.
To expose students to a part of
planet Earth that they, or their parents, would probably never think of
going.
2.
To take students out of their comfort zone (safely), and into the
realm of where almost 50 per cent (maybe more) of the world's population
live - day-to-day survival.
3.
To expose students to the beauty of Africa
- the people, the ecosystem, and the ability to be happy with few of the
material comforts in life.
4.
To experience a cultural exchange with the Kenyans
by visiting a mission school where the students have been orphaned because
of the AIDS epidemic in Kenya, and later to visit a Teachers' College
of young hopeful Kenyans who are training to be teachers.
5.
To experience a Farm stay so
that students get to experience a life on a farm on a large estate in
which the enterprising farmers today use modern agricultural methods to
work the land and who also supplement their living with evening safari
tours
6.
, at the end of the trip, to be able to empathize with those
- anywhere in the world, includingYour home country- who, through
no direct fault of their own, are not able to enjoy the same comforts
as people in the 'developed world'.
7.
Perhaps, somewhere down the line and when this trip's participants are
decision makers with financial resources at their disposal, they will
contribute to help people in Africa, to save endangered
species, and to give groups of people less fortunate than themselves
a chance to survive.
