It is no secret to long-time readers of my blog that for several years I have aspired to participate in a volunteer program in Africa. Well, it is finally happening!! I am scheduled to go to Tanzania this October with Global Service Corps (GSC).
This October I will be participating in GSC's Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Program near Arusha. While there, I will be participating in rural trainings in bio-intensive agriculture, poultry vaccinations, and other projects that work to improve the food security and nutrition of Tanzania’s most vulnerable populations. GSC is a non-profit organization that has been operating since 1992. Since then, GSC has designed and implemented sustainable community development programs in Kenya, Tanzania, and Thailand. GSC has partnered with some of the leading organizations in international development, including the Food and Agricultural Association of the United Nations, Africare, Heifer International, and Programs for Appropriate Technology in Health.

Thanks!!

Cool, except the donate button isn't working. Do you have a personal fundraising page?
First explain to me what "bio-intensive agriculture" is.
Also, you need to read this blog for training purposes:
