On July 28, 2004, a group of 8 Saint Joseph's College students and 2 faculty members left for the College's first-ever international Habitat for Humanity mission trip.  Assisted by HFHI's Global Village Department and Universal Travel, both in Americus, Georgia and the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, this trip was also made possible due to the generosity of the Downey family and Christopher Downey in particular.  Trip participants were:  Faculty Advisor Prof. Fred Berger, Prof. Linda McFarland, Anna Westwood, Kenny Shumard, Samantha Ma'Ayteh, Amanda Bartz, Kristin Geske, Meg Perryman, Sarah Bozenda, and Heather Mikus.

LOCATION:


Dodoma is the political capital of Tanzania and is located roughly 6 hours by bus "up country" from Dar es Salaam.  We flew in to Dar es Salaam International Airport and spent the first and last nights at the CEFA Guesthouse in Dar.
