Travel to Africa with APV!

East Africa, with its beautiful people, landscapes and animals, is truly an amazing place.  If you have ever dreamed of going to Africa, Africa’s Promise Village (APV) would like to take you there.  All you need to do is get a group organized at your school to raise money for clean water in the Simanjiro, and you’ll have a chance at the adventure of a lifetime.  Here’s how it works:

• Your school must be registered with APV’s “Dig Clean Water” campaign on or before May 1st, 2012.   We suggest that you register your school as soon as you can.  Contact us here and we will email you a registration form and a printed copy of the campaign’s rules and regulations.
