Trip FAQs

We spend 2 days in each area and move from urban to rural areas. Each day looks different! Sometimes we are visiting with a school or orphanage in the morning and then heading to a market in the afternoon or traveling to the next location in the morning and then visiting a hospital in the afternoon. See John’s video below for more info.

We try to keep trips to 4-6 people. Our goal is not to disrupt the organizations or places we visit more than needed. A larger group does more harm, turning the focus on us versus the people we are giving a photo away to. As well, we are not a tour company and like to keep our groups small so we can easily fit in smaller vehicles.

We have had ages 13-80 join us! See Jill’s video below for more on activity level for older adults.

Yes! We have many trip participants who fundraise their entire trip cost. We provide lots of help! See Erica’s video below for more info.

Prior to every trip we meet as a group 4 separate times on Zoom to go over everything you need to know! We go over packing lists, visa and vaccine requirements, cultural history, and more!

We stay in what we call ‘rustic lodging’. That means we stay in places that allow us to get to know the local people and places! Sometimes that is a small hotel or hostel, but more often than not we are staying in homes. We always stay where there is bedding provided.

Yes! There is always risk with any travel, but we ensure our groups are always accompanied by local guides.
