Bailee M Wartburg College
"I have so many stories now--and Tanzanians have taught me how to tell them. I learned so much about myself and my true values thanks to my time in Tanzania.

Ellen G Wartburg College
"I learned how to be more independent. There are still people (other students or staff memberes) to aid you but in many cases you need to rely on yourself to figure out how to handle situations that may come up.

I know ..."
