All our TTV volunteers will have the opportunity to visit the British Embassy in Banjul during their visit to the Gambia, providing them with an introduction to a possible career path in diplomacy and foreign relations. They will also visit an Eco Hotel in Gunjur to hear about eco tourism – another potential career path. And they will gain further insight into international development work during their visit to Gunjur through our partnership with TARUD (Trust Agency for Rural Development), the NGO in Gunjur delivering local development projects.

In the UK, they will be meeting Fair-trade representatives within the Community learning about the challenges of Fair Trade commerce within the UK setting.  They will also be introduced to business processes through the mango business project, international development work in the UK, professional photography and writing professionally through the experience and expertise of the delivery team: Colin Heber Percy, Hilary Stock, Allison Burden, Caro Strover and Dr Mick Maurice
