In general our trips are all about the "projects and visions" of those who go. We facilitate your personal project by connecting you with your Senegalese peers in a setting that allows you to not only focus, but encourages you to get into "the deep end of the pool" with your vision. There's a lot of opportunity for one-on-one studies for those who want that, and often these projects change and evolve once you're in the groove in Senegal.

The length of these trips is determined by the group, and it's flexible. If you think you want more than the usual 12-14 days, you can stay beyond the time span of the group, as I sometimes do. The folks we hook you up with are my personal friends, or friends of friends, so it's all very connected. Often the Americans on the trip act as each others support and/or assistants. The Senegalese folks we ask to work with you "get" that we're working together on issues of "global community and transformation," so there's a very deep connection... there's a sense of "shared vision" going on.
