Cultural Exchange Visits |

Salif came from the coastal region of Guinea, where people are predominantly Susu. Like elsewhere in Africa you always find more than one people and society has been tolerant and multicultural for a long time. People are very friendly and independently minded with a rich culture, particularly music and dance. Guinean music has a high reputation in West-Africa and beyond. |  |
 |
Salif was trying to bring opportunities to Guinea and had started to build a guesthouse to bring people for African music/dance holidays and maybe to bring the outside to a country which is a little forgotten by the world. We are also looking to promote economic and environmentally sustainable ideas and goods in a country that hasn't been so damaged yet and could avoid some of our pitfalls. |  |
 |
We are planning projects taking people from Europe to Guinea to experience culture, learn music and dance and in return for people there to learn from the guests. We have 1 qualified English teacher who is volunteering his services to teach Africans English and we are hoping to expand on this. By bringing these groups we will need to access services of local people and give them work. |  |

- We regret we had to cancel our planned trip for 2010 due to political uncertainty in Guinea.
We will inform you when we are able to resume activities or:
