Presented in partnership with Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief Tanzania, we are looking for four motivated students to take part in a unique intercultural learning experience in Bunda, Tanzania. Our theme this year is "Gender Equality Now!" - promoting gender equality, leadership, and health to secondary school boys and girls. This five-week program will take you off the beaten path! It will challenge you, inspire you, and enrich you. It will give you a new perspective on the world and your place in it.

“I did not come to Tanzania to talk to people who believe all of the same things I do, I came here to open my mind to new ideas and to help others open their minds too!”
