Question by Steven L: are there any trips to africa not dealing with religion?
id really like to take a trip to africa to learn about the culture and help the people out in some way. i dont want it to be a mission trip because im not too big on religion. i want to be able to play with the kids and be able to bring stuff that they need, im 16 years old and i would kinda like for it to be a group thing. if you know of anything like this can you please help me out with a link or something, thanks.

There are plenty of organisations that don’t have religious affiliations or motives. I’m planning to go to Africa with International Volunteering HQ: http://www.volunteerhq.org/
I’m picking them because I can afford it, it looks well set up and all of the volunteer testimonials are pretty convincing. If I were you I would take the time to really research any organisation you can find and you will see that many of them have nothing to do with religion. The organisation I listed here has a number of opportunities to work with orphanages if you like kids. It also lets you plan groups trips – but at 16 you will need to have a responsible adult (18+) with you.
Of course, when you get to Africa you may find a religion to be a big part of life depending on where you are going. So keep an open mind and if you stay with a host family, just make sure you are respectful of any cultural differences!
