Tim Corrigan blogs on cycling, trips and programming…

For 7 weeks of 2007 I took part in Volunteer Africa‘s Singida Rural development program based in Singida, Tanzania. I was helping to build a dispensary, a medical facility in a village called Mvae. It was an incredible experience, which is difficult to summarise. If you read the rest of this category though you can get a feel for the trip from the 6 email updates I sent during my time there.

I recommend doing something like this to anyone who wants to experience a completely different culture, and doesn’t mind living in basic conditions! You can read more on Volunteer Africa’s website. Also check out Luke Mill’s blog, written at the time I was there. A few photos but these can’t do the trip justice…
