Bushtracks - a California-based tour operator has adopted Generosity in Action to help them fulfill their "Giving-Back" pledge.

"Giving Back" to the people and regions in which we work is a core philosophy of Bushtracks. "Giving Back" means that our local staff support the community in which we work, that our staff overseas support the communities in the regions in which we travel and that we encourage our travelers to support the people that they visit.

The many ways Bushtracks has used Generosity in Action to support their goal to "Give Back" to areas they visit.

1. In the Sahara Desert of Niger Bushtracks and their travelers have joined to support the local community goal to build a High School for the region. In November of 2006 fifty travelers visited the village and met the Mayor. Details are available at this link.

2. In 2006 construction of a Basketball court was completed in Bayanga in the Central African Republic. This was the result of travelers enthusiasm to support the village following a visit in 2005. For more details and pictures click in this link.
