  • School—assisting with language classes
  • Health—teaching on hygiene

In addition, certain members of the team also visited the village of Bumala, Kenya and the Mwanza District of Tanzania, to determine how YouFeedThem can assist these villages in their agricultural efforts to reach self-sustainability.
