What is a typical day on a TBB program like?
Every day with TBB is different. The most common daily structure on the itinerary is that of service days (see the sample calendar). These days begin with breakfast with your host family. You’re then off to spend the first half of the day with our partner NGO in the community working on the service project. These projects range from manual labor like tree-planting to more social tasks like surveying the needs of HIV/AIDS patients. Your group takes a break together for lunch and an hour to rest or catch up on the reading for seminar. During the afternoon, the group participates in the daily seminar. This 1 1/2 hour period could include meeting with a local leader to learn more about the development issues the community is facing, a group discussion or activity to explore the topic deeper and process the reading, or a chance to work with your small group on the media project you are creating for that unit. After seminar, you might grab the Frisbee for a game of ultimate, kick the soccer
