    Itinerary

    Upon arrival at Ndola International Airport (NLA), you will be met by a representative in the arrivals hall and transferred to the hotel. Check-in to the hotel and enjoy some free time to settle in and freshen up.


    This evening, gather for a welcome reception at the hotel and dinner with the group at a local restaurant.


    A full American-style breakfast will be served each morning during the program.


    Begin today with a tour of Hope Community School, Spark's local partner. Learn about their origin story and their impressive trajectory of growth. The tour culminates with a lively welcome program with cultural dancing and performances by the students. 


    After lunch, conduct a workshop with the teachers, sharing teaching methods and planning for the days ahead. Tonight leaders from Hope host you for dinner in their home. 


    Begin the first full day of Hope School classroom programming. After school lets out, visit a local market to get a deeper sense of the daily life in this community. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.


    Continue engaging with Hope School classroom programming. After school lets out, visit the Hope Farm – a vegetable farm that helps support the meal program at Hope School, along with providing local employment.


    Continue Hope School classroom programming. After school lets out, visit a local market. Zambia is filled with stunning artisan crafts – fill your suitcase for your return home with vibrant local fabric called chitenge or hand-crafted wooden spoons, bowls and baskets. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.


    Today, you will visit the home of a Hope School student and say goodbye to our new friends. Begin the day by traveling to the home of one of the children benefited by Hope Community School and learn more about their story of transformation and impact. Join the student along their walk through their village to school. We will also have a dedicated time for additional conversation with the incredible Hope teachers you have partnered with throughout the week. Head back to Hope House for dinner.


    Fly from Ndola to Lusaka and then to Livingstone. Enjoy a dinner cruise on the Zambezi River.


    You have a chance to participate in some optional excursions and see the beauty of Zambia. One of them is a visit to Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world!


    We’ll continue to see the natural beauty of Southern Africa with a full-day land and boat safari at Chobe National Park in Botswana. Get ready to see the amazing wildlife of the region (you never know which animals will come out for us)!
