Mario had an unforgettable experience in Tanzania, filled with adventure, learning, and cultural exchange. His group helped build goat shelters, install solar panels, and make traditional clay stoves alongside local villagers. They also shared school supplies and played a joyful soccer match with local children.

Highlights included celebrating Mario’s birthday at Shamba, exploring a fair-trade coffee plantation, and camping under the stars. The safari in Tarangire National Reserve was a true thrill — with zebras, elephants, lions, and giraffes!

The trip ended in Zanzibar, where the group enjoyed swimming, visiting the Salaam Cave Aquarium to learn about sea turtle conservation, and joining a lively Maasai dance show.

An inspiring journey full of teamwork, discovery, and unforgettable memories! 🌿
