Come learn about what service learning is, what you can get out of a service learning experience abroad in Africa, and how you can apply! Sean McCarthy, a senior at Pitt, will be recounting his own experiences in Tanzania over the past few years. He will also explain what Green Hope is and how students can get involved at Pitt. The Green Hope Orphanage, Inc. provides financial, administrative, and academic support to educational institutions in underserved, low-income communities in rural Tanzania.

"This past summer I went to relocate the school from Olgilai to Elboro. Some of what I did:
- Negotiate a rental contract with a land owner.
- Build a relationship with the Elboro village government & leaders.
- Work with a lawyer to construct a Tanzanian legal entity (NGO) to operate under in the future.
- Strengthen our Non-profit, Business, and Government contacts in Tanzania.
- Search for long term land and building solutions for Green Hope's future expansion."
