My recent service-learning trip to Tanzania was a transformative experience…I had the opportunity to engage with local communities and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and strengths within these communities.
The service-learning trip to Tanzania has forever changed how I see myself, the U.S., the world and how I choose to navigate spaces differently moving forward. Had Outreach Global not provided the funding, I might have never had such a rich, exhilarating experience.
Visiting Tanzania provided a deeper understanding of African heritage, traditions and culture, helping to reconnect with my ancestral roots.
The collaboration between African American & Africana Studies and AU Outreach Global provided students a unique and transformative experience to understand the value of experiential, cultural and service learning.
I am forever grateful to AU Outreach Global for this opportunity....it was fascinating to be submerged in Tanzania's culture. It was my first time spending an extended period out of the country, and I could not have imagined doing that without the admin from Outreach Global.
