My Nonprofit Reviews

My wife and I, who are both high school social studies / history teachers, participated in the GEEO Southern Africa program during the summer of 2012. From sunset riverboat cruises with hippos, elephants, and kudu, to morning runs on the pristine beaches of Mozambique, this trip was a phenomenal experience. I really enjoyed the fact that we camped, helped cook food sourced from local markets, and were able to see quite a few schools as well. Even though I mostly teach American and European history, I use information and experiences from this trip all the time in my classroom. Our guide did a great job of making us comfortable and helping get the most out of our experience, and the trip gave me a new respect for the developing world.

If you are at all thinking about taking a trip with GEEO, sack up and do it. At first I was somewhat reluctant, but my wife convinced me, and I am so glad she did!
