Learn a lot about better ways to improve conditions for the local people - The Small Things (TST) originated from bad feeling about the fate of orphans, not as long as the were in an orphanage, but when they returned to their villages. They found new solutions to improve this dramatically. I will not reveal here how they do it. You can discover this by visiting them, spend some time, gain trust and listen carefully while showing real interest. Otherwise you may be disappointed. TST recently started organizing social tours and you can see they still are learning how to do it, but they take time. You can drink coffee with staff members and I was so luck tu have a good conversation during lunch with the managing director. We visited mama Max, a lady who managed to buy a cow and her own house while raising six children and taking care of her mother in law as well (her husband died unfortunately). It nice for her if you bring a present for here from your own country. Specifically, you can have lunch with the staff members and be assured, they have an excellent cook. Do not forget to say "Assante sana kwa chakula kitamu" before you leave.
