Tanzania - Changed Perspectives, Deep Connection & Breathtaking Scenery

11. Connecting with people from different cultures is one of the best things about traveling. That cultural connection played a starring role in our recent trip to Tanzania. Join Jill and her guest, Josie Russell (a high school senior at the time of the trip), to reflect on their life-changing philanthropic journey to Tanzania. In this heartfelt conversation, they share stories from visiting Maasai villages, playing soccer with local students, witnessing wildlife in the Serengeti, and confronting uncomfortable truths that expanded their worldview.
