The Village Experience

I had the opportunity to travel with Kelly and Ann-Marie of The Village Experience during a winter term class last January and I was incredibly impressed with their knowledge of the area and understanding of the Ugandan culture. We experienced a variety of activities and learned a lot about the cultural and lives of the Ugandan people. I would greatly recommend this program to anyone looking for a safe, fun and life-changing travel opportunity.

Traveling with TVE has enabled me to experience giving back and understanding cultures on a level I never imagined would be possible! I really enjoyed all the time we spent working with Vamos Adlante; our group had the opportunity visit one of their medical clinics, partake in their elderly food distributing program, and spend time with students at one of their many schools! Kelly, TVE's trip leader, was an excellent resource for helping myself and the other passengers in really debriefing and processing everything we were experiencing on the trip. I cannot wait to zipline through the jungle on my next trip to Guatemala with TVE!

We traveled with the Village Experience to Kenya in Jan. 2011. Our accomadations were amazing. We stayed in beautiful tents right in the heart of Kenya ! Working with TVE's projects throughout this country was very rewarding! We voluntered in IDP camps, Women projects, Street Kid's projects and even helped open up a new school completely funded by friends of TVE. Our Safari in the Masai was unforgetable. We had the best Guides and Drivers! We will be going on another TVE trip soon !!
