If you come on this team you will have many opportunities to interact with orphans at the Melisa Foster Rescue Unit and to see firsthand the operation of a Teen Missions base. Your project is to share the love of Jesus through coloring books and small construction projects to benefit others. Housing will be in tents; bathing and laundry will be done using buckets. On a safari drive through Liwonde National Park you can, from a safe distance, see elephants, crocodiles, many impalas, bushbucks and kudus.
