I applaud WTP for great organization, efficiency and proactive
thinking. Well before I started planning for the trip they informed me
of required shots, travel ideas and language classes that would help
me immerse myself in the new environment. Upon my arrival at the
airport, Linda Rivero from WTP was waiting for me. I felt safe and taken care
of. The accommodations throughout the trip were clean and spacious.
The opportunity to reconnect with myself by leaving the
hustle-and-bustle of day-to-day life in America was important to me.
Meeting women from another culture was also very appealing to me. I
discovered that in essence we are all the same, looking to help our
village. In my case that means my work, family and goals. In their
case, it’s surprisingly similar.
I left Senegal with a new appreciation for my time, my views and my
life. Since the trip, my head has been clearer -- it’s been easier for
me to come up with fresh ideas and inspiration.
Linda Rivero and her crew were significant in making it all happen. The people at WTP were easy to work with, enjoyable and personable.
I could not have planned a trip like this on my own, and I wouldn’t have felt like I was making as huge an impact without the help of the women who traveled with
me.
