Product Details
In Malawi an estimated 560,000 children have lost their parents to AIDS, and each village community often supports over a hundred of these orphaned and vulnerable children. By volunteering and joining this project you can help these children get a better start in life and build a better future. This sustainable project also offers the chance to relax and reflect. We take two weekends off to explore Malawi be that on the shores of Lake Malawi, soaking up the sun next to the crystal waters, trekking to the top of a mountain or listening to the giggling hyena in the national park. How we spend our weekends is at the discretion of the group.
