I must say this trip was absolutely mind blowing! It was the best trip I have taken in my sixty three years of life, hands down. I travel and have traveled to many places, but this one ... I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Africa and it's customs, people and food. I had a real experience. It was not artificial at all. I saw, I felt and I will remember it as long as I live. Most importantly, I will be back! I was saddened when the trip ended, and I still am. I will carry the people in my heart forever! I miss them daily and I wonder who is having the chance to encounter them as I did. I can't wait to return year after year! The people are very sweet, humble and hard working. Better then that they are appreciative. This will be one of the trips I return to yearly, if I God I serve (Jesus Christ)says the same. I absolutely love,love,love them!
More then thankful,

Amazing experience! The people of Penyem Village were so kind and friendly. The clinic was full of memories for a life time. The food was great and Reggie was a wonderful leader. I would recommend this trip to any students wanting some hands on experience and insight into what life in The Gamia and Senegal is like.

We had the most wonderful time in The Gambia with Dr. Hughes. Everything was so well planned, organized and smooth! I can’t wait to go back again!
