A friend of mine used to work at this organization, Cross-Cultural Solutions. It is a non-profit organization that organizes 1-12 week trips to 10 countries around the world in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. The travellers commit to volunteer work with local people on important community-initiatives such as orphanages and childcare centers, schools, health clinics and hospitals, homes for the elderly, centers for people with disabilities, and more.
So, if you are planning to travel and want to do something to help others around the workd- check our Cross-Cultural Solutions.

The Official Kwanzaa Website
This is the official Kwanzaa website maintained by Kwanzaa founder, Dr. Maulana Karenga . Kwanzaa is an African American cultural holiday celebrated from December 26-January 1. Each day during this time focuses on Nguzo Saba - the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Based on the celebrations of the first harvest practiced in various African cultures, Kwanzaa celebrates African cultural identity and connectedness. The site covers the historical roots behind Kwanzaa, seven principles of Kwanzaa, symbols, celebrations, and more.
