Welcome to the CPAR Study Tour...

A record breaking group of 12 departs in just two days for a three week journey to Tanzania - the first Study Tour group to visit CPAR-Tanzania.

Our first stop this year will be Nairobi where we will spend one night before crossing the border into Tanzania to meet with my colleagues in Arusha. From there we head to Karatu where we will spend the next week visiting rural communities and learning about CPAR's work in Food Security, Natural Resource Management, Sexual & Reproductive Healthy and Water & Sanitation. We will have the unique opportunity of talking to the people who have been participating in CPAR programs and of seeing the transformations that have been taking place in their communities.

I hope you will follow our experiences and so join us in learning about the challenges and success of building healthy communities in Tanzania!

Check back for updates next week as I post from Tanzania....
