Travelers Help Moroccan Women Farmers Then Explore the Magic of Morocco
Give
Back Kick Back Travel and Women Worldwide offer travelers a
volunteer tourism adventure in Morocco, September 2010
Boston, MA and Austin, TX - Responding
to recent trends in volunteer tourism, Give Back Kick Back Travel is creating adventure trips for the socially conscious traveler.
Combining world-class travel with a hands-on service project in Morocco, this September/October 2010 trip gives travelers
an exciting opportunity to savor Imperial Cities, camp in the desert, visit Roman ruins, and ride camels, while also donating
and planting fruit trees to local women farmers in need.
"Many world travelers want to make a difference when
they travel," said Tina Williamson, founder of Women Worldwide and co-founder of Give Back Kick Back Travel. "People who volunteer abroad often want to tour the country they
are visiting. And, research confirms that many world travelers would love an opportunity help people in the countries they
are visiting. Combining the two – volunteering and tourism – is travel with a purpose."
The “Celebrate
Morocco” trip, September 18–October 3, 2010, takes travelers on a tour of this culturally rich and exotic country that includes a 3-day stay in Bab Boudir, a small mountain village outside
of Taza to help local farmers by donating and helping plant fruit trees.
For the 'Kick Back' segment of the trip, the group will travel
by 4x4s from a coastline bathed in Mediterranean breezes to explore Fez, Volubilis, then drive through the Atlas Mountains,
to the Sahara Desert, on to Marrakech, and stay in many Berber towns in between. Travelers
are immersed in Moroccan culture as they experience historic sights, ancient sounds and intoxicating scents unique to this
magical country. They’ll be treated to local music, walking tours, traditional mint-tea ceremonies, and an opportunity
to meet, mingle and work with locals.
"This is truly a journey for those with an
adventurous spirit," said Pamela Bracken, of Give Back Kick Back Travel. "We'll dine with Tuaregs, participate in
a drumming workshop, dance with local musicians, camp in the Sahara and stay in Riads in the Medina, ride
camels, and shop in local souks that are centuries old.”
In the 'Give Back' segment of the trip the travelers will plant fruit trees
donated by Give Back Kick Back to five poor farming families headed by women, many widowed, who could use a little help. The
group will roll up their sleeves to help the farming families plant the trees, perhaps doubling their income potential, giving
them and future generations a lasting gift, then share meals and tribal music with the beneficiaries in their orchards.
Space is limited to 18 travelers. For the itinerary
