No better Thanksgiving than this one. Against the tropical backdrop of the Indian Ocean, you’ll go deep into rural Zulu lands where rock huts dot the landscape and our partner, Build the Future, is knee-and-heart-deep in changing children’s lives. By retrofitting shipping containers into lively preschools and getting feeding programs into full swing, the future looks newly bright for vulnerable communities. Whether you’re planting in the school’s garden, painting a wall, or packing meals to feed families, you’ll be reeling at how God’s love unfolds. To top it off, finish your trip with an amazing safari and some rest and play by the ocean.

with stunning views over the warm Indian Ocean and “Granny's Pool"- a small, semi-private beach.

Build the Future
Build the Future aims to take as many kids off the street and enroll them in our preschools, so they can be safe, while learning and playing. They are striving to plant preschools in areas that are densely populated with local inhabitants, who are the poorest of the poor, but who’s children deserve an education and nourishment. They go where no-one else will, for the future of South Africa.
