"New Year, New Hope" - a trip to Saint Lucia in DEC 2010-JAN 2011
On this 8-day mission-driven trip to the lush island of Saint Lucia, travelers will work hard with Miranda and Baptiste to contruct a playground for the village children in Grace, adjacent to the village's only preschool for kids as our New Year's Gift of Hope. Participants will also get a chance to visit the regional Fairtrade office, roast their own coffee, pound their own cocoa, make coconut oil, drink fresh lemonade, and take a day or two to enjoy the mountains, rainforest, and coral reefs. Information and signup forms for this trip will be available in late 2009 or early 2010.

If your mission group, fair trade organization, or travel company is planning a non-vacational trip to the developing world and you invite participants, please email us and we may be able to post a link on this page for you.
