Volunteer Vacation Tajikistan By Adrienne Wilson
Pamiri People
One of the greatest rewards in traveling across the globe is being able to give back to the local communities. In
this Volunteer Vacation: Tajikistan series Adrienne dishes the details on building both homes and hope with Habitat for Humanity International in Tajikistan's capital city - Dushanbe. While there was a good amount of cement made, dirt buckets carried and water fetched there was also a healthy amount of dining done in Dushanbe and when the two weeks with the rest of the volunteer crew came to an end there was some additional solo sight-seeing in the Pamirs. If you're looking to get lost in remote parts of the world, see what Dushanbe and the Pamirs has to offer and while you're at it - pick up a shovel or patch up a roof.
