By Adrienne Wilson
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.
