“Expanding Opportunities” in Kenya August 23
On August 23 at 7:00 pm, Expanding Opportunities will give a general public talk at the Camden Public Library about their travel program called Friends Across the Ocean. Expanding Opportunities, headquartered in Belfast, Maine, is both a non-profit organization (in the US) and an NGO (non-governmental organization) in Kenya. The focus of Friends Across The Ocean is a full-immersion experience into Kenyan culture with emphasis on the nonprofit’s mission to increase sustainability through education and charitable projects, as an alternative to mass tourism in Kenya. In particular, guests stay and collaborate with the local communities on ongoing projects at Joseph Waweru Home School children’s home and Gordon Clem Academy, built and funded by Expanding Opportunities.
In addition, this travel program practices and promotes an appreciation for social, ecological, and economic responsibility. Travelers visit homes, schools, and businesses of Kenyans served by Expanding Opportunities including fair trade artisan support and coffee farms, as well as experiencing African safari and wildlife conservation parks. This is a free talk for anyone interested in responsible travel to Kenya. For more information, please contact Nicole Carbisiero at 207-930-8012.
