*Adventure of a Lifetime* Travel to the heart of an African Community led by Sam Okoth, son of the village, and Sam Willcocks, Alego’s adopted daughter. Connect with people young, old and ultimately yourself through the ancient mediums of drum, song, dance, craft and food. By engaging in this traditional training program you are affirming positive change towards the preservation & celebration of culture. You also have the opportunity to learn about living in community, share your unique skills and empower local people through participatory development projects. The proposed dates are 11th – 27th February 2015. These dates are subject to change slightly depending on availability of flights and the preferences of selected group members. Spaces are limited to 10 people to ensure group connectedness, maximum immersion and minimum disruption in village life.
