What's it like to work in Africa? Lions! Tigers! Huts! No way!! Come hear the REST of the story! This summer the Social Action Project (SOCACT) traveled to South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. Come hear us talk about what it was like, how we felt, who we met, and that we never once saw a wild animal, a grass hut, or a spear (that wasn't under glass in a museum). We will also talk about the social justice initiatives underway.
