A House for Books: Volunteering and Adventure in the Shadow of Kilimanjaro

by Mark Biernacki

Overview

The author's travels take him on a trip of cultural awareness and adventure while exploring northern Tanzania. During his time away from volunteering to help build libraries and school buildings, he immerses himself in the daily lives of the people, engages with a land teeming with wildlife while crossing the Serengeti, and embarks on an arduous climb in an attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. During these adventures, he reflects on the impact he had become a part of in addressing the educational needs of the region's children. He learns about himself as he undertakes meaningful volunteer work and gains the satisfaction that he is helping make a tangible difference for the people in this far corner of the world.
