Community Development
and Cultural Enrichment
Program Highlights
What if you could combine a truly meaningful community
development project with three weeks of rich experience in
African culture?
Volunteer with the Makah Water for All Foundation, building
a pump well to provide clean drinking water to a village
in Cameroon. Participants not only take part in this fulfilling
experience, but learn how to start a nonprofit organization from
the ground floor. The program includes lectures on topics such
as Globalization and Africa, Polygamy, and Effects of HIV-AIDS
in Africa. Hiking, learning the “bottle dance” and visiting the
Ndawara Tea Estate Ranch will be among the highlights.
