Review for Achieve in Africa, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been to Tanzania twice on behalf of AIA. It has been a wonderful experience to see school builidngs being constructed, new desks installed and the benefit this provides for children. Africa's population is expected to grow beyond that of China's in the next few decades. With increased education extending to the secondary school years, comes hope and opportunity. I can see this in the joy of the younger and older students who directly benefit, for we all share our common humanity. It is truly humbling to particiate in this. As I also worked on mixing cement by hand, it was eyeopening to realize the brutal nature of how construction is done in Africa; little by little progress will come in all areas. This has taught me to never take anything for granted.
