JAMBO!!
I have just returned a couple weeks ago from one of the most extraordinary trips I’ve ever been on…….ever-an expedition in Africa! It was truly one of the best travel experiences in my life, no question about it. Although I had been to Africa on six previous tours, this was by far, the best. From safari game drives each day, to visiting a tribe in the Masai Mara for the day, our trip to East Africa was without doubt a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’ll be posting some photos next week on this site to show you.
While I was there, I had the great opportunity to talk with Catholic college students. They told me what it is like growing up Catholic in Kenya, and the idea came to me as we were talking, what if we brought American/Canadian Catholic college students over to meet these college students?!!!!
So the wheels are in motion now to bring 20 college students to Kenya during Christmas break 2009-2010 for our Catholic College Africa Adventure Tour!
I am working with a local priest in Nairobi, who is affilitated with the Bishop’s office there, and they have inexpensive housing for our entire group. We are putting together our itinerary and finalizing everything this week. If any of you would like information about this trip, or if you know someone who might want information, please email me direct at Jim@CatholicTrips.com and I will send it out to you.
Our trip will cost roughly $2800, including airfare, accommodations and most meals. We will not know the exact price until we can secure the airfare in February, but this gives you a good idea of what the price might be.
Also, we have set up a payment plan for this and all our Catholic Trips’ pilgrimages. You can make monthly payments, and it will automatically be deducted from a credit card or debit card that you provide for us.
Finally, if there is a dynamic priest that you know who might want to be our spiritual director on this Catholic College Africa Adventure Tour (CCAAT) please tell them to contact me as soon as possible.
Asante, which means thank you!
