(Madagascar 2007) Anir Experience, I had never been to Africa before. After returning home, I can't imagine having used another program! Both Adrienne and Rachel are wonderful, respectful, outgoing and knowledgeable hosts, which made the program even more memorable. It was a great balance of learning more first-hand about AIDS and its effects on the culture, exploring less-touristy but equally wonderful neighborhoods in Cape Town, and visiting beautiful landmarks, such as the Cape of Good Hope. I have to admit how nervous I was to go to Africa for the first time, but Anir Experience was the perfect way to visit it. This program has positively impacted me in so many ways, and has made me extremely eager to re- visit Africa. I am so grateful for every experience that Anir Experience has given me!

(Zambia 2009) "Ndakezi holds my hand as he points out the world & tells me we are all its people... I have come to his school - A non expert but an American with reliable Internet access, a love of McD's value meal & on-off listenership of hip-hop music... I teach about issues that don't affect me: HIV and Malaria and pit latrines -- But Ndakezi asks for them to affect me. As we reach a clearing in the sea of smiling faces happy to see one so much like their own, His grip tightens, he squints towards the sun, stares up at me and says: 'Lets share the load. Lets throw our kickstands down lets dance with one hand waving free'..." Andrew, Canyon, TX |
