Project CANAAN
Each participant will be encouraged to maintain a group mindset throughout your trip. We want to ensure that everyone has a great experience, and we make preparations based on what is best for the group. As Project Canaan grows, specifically our children’s campus, we must make modifications that are going to best serve those on and off the property, as well as provide consistency and structure for the schedule our staff has worked diligently to put in place for the Egg Farmers of Canada. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to improve your trip experience!
Note: Limited to 40 Volunteers.
Trip Itinerary
Depart from North America.
Arrive in Johannesburg and stay overnight at the City Lodge Airport Hotel.
Drive from Johannesburg to Eswatini via Private coach. Check-in to Bushbaby Lodge at Nkonyeni.
The team will be split into groups for Homestead visits in our community. Each group will serve a family in our community by bringing supplies such as food and clothing, and visit with them. This is a great opportunity to develop a relationship with an individual family who is in need and who we want to provide extra support to.
The team will head to Project Canaan where they will get a three-hour tour of the project which includes: Egg Barns, Dairy, Greenhouse, Children’s homes, Project Canaan Academy, Kufundza Vocational Training Center and the El Rofi Medical Center.
The team will have the opportunity to spend the day on a game drive (safari) with our children who have just turned 6 or 10 years old, for their birthdays, or work at the Egg Barn for the day.
The day will end with a special Braai at the Maxwell’s home.
The team will spend the morning swimming and playing with kids. In the afternoon, they will join our children and staff at the amphitheater for Janine’s 60th Birthday party, followed by a birthday dinner with the kids. They will end the day with a fire at the Maxwell’s home.
The team will experience singing and dancing at Children’s Church in the morning. In the afternoon, they will head out to our community church partner locations to serve hot meals (including the perfect protein, hard-boiled eggs!) in our feeding program.
Time to head home! The team will return to Johannesburg on the Private coach.
Shopping at Khutsala™ Artisans
The Khutsala™ Artisan shop on Project Canaan will be open multiple times throughout the week, and you will be able to stock up on our beautiful Khutsala and Kufundza products.
Our jewelry, Christmas ornaments, charcuterie boards, and many other home items are all handmade on site, providing employment for our neighboring communities, which enables them to provide for up to 7 family member in each household.
