A previous Insight Trip member had this to say about her experience:

October2005InsightTrip328“The Persians, Greeks and Romans, the French and the British succeeded the Pharaohs as presiders over Egypt. Travel with HANDS and you will see all the wonders they left for the world: pyramids and temples, tombs and paintings and writings. You will see synagogues, churches and mosques, as well as modern cities modeled on European capitals. But as an insider traveling with HANDS, you will be given yet another dimension. They will honor you as an insider: they will take you to see village development projects they support, and perhaps have you participate in one of their intercultural and interfaith dialogues.

You will meet the leaders of some of the organizations who work with youth, women and the disabled. I traveled to Egypt on a HANDS’ Insight Trip. I saw a great deal of Egypt and learned a great deal. I recommend the trip to you. Do join one.”
