Global Village - Trip Schedule

Do you believe that it is better to give than to receive?
Do you have a desire to explore the road less travelled?
Do you feel a need to help make a difference in the world and pay good fortune forward?
Do you have a strong sense of adventure?
Do you have an open heart and a willingness to work alongside others to expand your horizons?

"If you have answered yes to all of the above, join us in Lesotho to participate with other kindred spirits in building a safe, decent and affordable home for a family in Lesotho. No previous construction experience is necessary; just a willingness to work hard and to be a team player.
I am looking for team members who are positive, adventurous, flexible, culturally-sensitive and have a good sense of humour. If you seek an exciting and challenging trip and have a desire to immerse yourself in the culture and hospitality of the local community while accomplishing something worthwhile, this is the trip for you!" - Habitat Website

Meet Our Team Leader: Tanya McMurdo

"I have been involved with Habitat for Humanity for approximately 15 years through volunteering with Habitat for Humanity Toronto, as a staff member with the Global Village program and as a volunteer Global Village team leader. Travel is one of my greatest passions in life – I love travelling to new places, meeting new people, exploring new cultures and experiencing it all firsthand. I have had the pleasure of leading Global Village trips to El Salvador, Zambia, Paraguay, Tajikistan, Portugal, Vermont, Kenya, Nepal, Vietnam, Armenia and now Lesotho. I am looking forward to another exciting Global Village journey and meeting those of you who would like to join me on this amazing adventure to Lesotho." - Tanya
