A Youth Exploration Journey for Public Welfare in Kenya
This is not a trip, but a civilisation collision that rewrites the coordinates of life - when your child builds a brick with a Maasai youth, and discusses climate crisis with a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, their worldview will forever transcend the dimensions of their peers.
Highlights of the Itinerary
Endorsed by global institutions - Special visit to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters + Certificate from the University of Nairobi
Multidimensional social impact - Engagement in education/ecology/gender equality initiatives, aligning with top universities' social responsibility focus
Immersive natural classroom - Experience the great animal migration + Observe nocturnal animal behaviour using infrared technology
Cultural immersion - Co-build an eco-school with the Maasai warriors, and facilitate STEM workshops in underprivileged schools
