Homeless International Tanzania Community Challenge Charity: Homeless International Challenge:  Tanzania Trek Dates: 26/01/2011 -06/02/2011 Deposit*: £ 500 Minimum Sponsorship*: £  2800 Grade:  Moderate   Join Homeless International on this breathtaking journey through one of Africa's finest countries. This is a unique opportunity to experience firsthand Homeless International's overseas work, combined with an unforgettable trek through Tanzania's great safari land. One billion people in the world live in slums. Homeless International works with local organisations in Africa and Asia to help people living in slums improve their living conditions through community-led initiatives. It helps communities transform slums by supporting them to secure land, build decent homes, get safe water and sanitation, and negotiate with governments – ensuring that they have a voice that gets heard. On this 12-day trip you will work on a community building project that is being supported by Homeless International through its Tanzanian partner organisation. You will help to make a real difference to the lives of local people who are working together to overcome challenges to housing, water and sanitation. No building experience or skills are required to take part – all you need is the enthusiasm and commitment to work hard and make a difference. During the second half of the trip you will trek through the arid, game-rich bush country of Tarangire National Park, onto the shores of Lake Manyara - sanctuary to thousands of flamingos. Surrounded by the volcanic ridges of the Great Rift Valley and the lush vegetation of the highlands, you will pass through small villages where you will meet local tribes people and learn about their culture. The area is home to a myriad of wildlife including zebra, gazelle and ostrich. Our African Adventure finishes with a day’s game drive into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area.   Contact Hannah Gray hannah@homeless-international.org http://www.homeless-international.org/tanzaniacommunitychallenge 024 7663 2802   Downloads		In Pictures     Participant Feedback...
