"Dear HKH family, It is so complicated if not impossible to describe in words the ocean of experiences, emotions and feelings that have bathed every moment of this experience.

Who hasn't felt like that at some point? As they say, everything in life has a solution, so at Tumaini we decided to give solidarity group travel combined with responsible tourism a chance to get to know the country.
Maria's three-month experience in the jungle of Iquitos
Maria's three-month experience in the jungle of Iquitos To travel in solidarity to discover parts of yourself that you don't know, to reconnect with yourself, with your values and to get to know realities that are distant to you but with which you have always felt interest and pain in equal parts.

SOLIDARITY TRIPS DURING COVID PANDEMIA AND NGOs. THE REINVENTION OF TUMAINI FROM OUR SOLIDARITY TRIPS. A few days ago we were talking to Carmen García, the head of Asegurados Solidarios, about how this pandemic was affecting non-profit organisations.

Andrea's 3-week experience in Kenya
They say that when you leave Kenya a little piece of you stays there, that a sense of sadness accompanies you leaving this place and that the smiles you see are etched on your retina for life.
