Day 4

Brunch then we visit N’Zikro. A little village in a family owned plantation. Agriculture is the main source of revenue in Cote d’Ivoire, which is the number one producer of Cocoa in the world, former number 3 in coffee and the top five in rubber. We will visit the plantation as well as the village’s school. The kids are very bright intelligent students who lack the resources we have here in America. The students are in great need of school supplies (pen, pencils, paper, etc.) and basic necessities (shoes, clothes, toothbrushes, etc.). If you have any leftover or gently used supplies, please bring a few that you will be able to hand directly to the children. Nothing is too small and you might change a child’s life forever.

Everyone enjoys fun times at the beach so from there, we’ll go to Assinie Beach, where we will spend the rest of the day. Back to Abidjan, dinner, and if you still have the stamina, we’ll go out for round two of dancing.
