Bulati School Project
How we got started.....
In February 2007, a small group of trekkers from the US camped near the Maasai village of Bulati, Tanzania in East Africa. They were struck by the spirit of the people and their ability to make do with so little. The head teacher of the nearby school asked for help and the trekkers were hooked.
The Bulati School project was born.
Your contribution to the Bulati School Fund will help support the school and have a huge impact on the students. Checks should be made payable to Journeys of Solutions, Inc. Please note either the Bulati School Fund or the Bulati Scholarship Fund on the Memo line. Mail to Journeys of Solutions, Inc., PO Box 28, Webster, NY 14580.
