WHAT AN AFRICAN PROMISE EXPEDITION IS:A volunteer expedition is an opportunity for you to have a cultural exchange with some of the most beautiful people in the world. Although it’s a service expedition, we find that volunteers come home with the feeling that “they” have been helped. Going on a trip definitely changes the way you look at the world. Africa has a way of cracking your heart wide open and often brings out your best self through serving others! We also have opportunities for cultural experiences that can include a safari, a visit to a dance troupe, going to the source of the River Nile and time for craft shopping.
