We are pleased to have you join us on this journey.
This Cultural Service Learning Trip is scheduled for December 8-22, 2024.
This is a 2 week, all inclusive [LAND PACKAGE] journey that includes service, cultural humility, heritage, disrupting oppression, unlearning, and building community!
OBey Foundation is a nonprofit cultural wellness organization. Harmony Health is a community based, culturally responsive, social justice mental health agency. Partnered, we've created an experience unlike any others. This is NOT a tourist journey. It is our family property in which we share with others to experience going back to the Motherland intentionally, on the coast, with service, wellness, healing, disruption, cultural learning and life transformative experiences and community.
This journey begins the day you commit. Once your spot is reserved by an application and deposit, you are added to a Private FB group [the family] to ask questions, see additional pictures, ask about experiences, needs, fears, excitement, thoughts, joys and more.
This Service trip provides an opportunity for you to not only raise funds for an international NGO and service program, but to be hands-on in that process by traveling abroad. This trip has service components. A personal service project is selected and supported while in the States. While abroad, you will be placed with OYC Staff to do the groundwork to complete that project. Usually, we receive funds to support our OYC humanitarian services, but rarely do those supporters know what it takes on the other side to accomplish those tasks.
This service trip is also designed for the participant to EXPERIENCE another way of life through disruption of individualistic culture and experiencing collective culture. This journey emphasizes disrupting Implicit Biases, Judgements and learning another cultural perspective.
There are historical sites that we will visit, and you will stay at Ocean Breeze Healing Resort in the village to experience the village life of others.
Based on the number of participants, 1 or 2 hosts will accompany the journey. If the group size is too small to include 2 hosts, and you prefer to have 2 hosts, there is an additional fee.
