TUI MALI
CHIEF OF THE MALI TRIBE

"Vorovoro hardens the feet, broadens the mind, and softens the heart....Vorovoro is where you are home, where you are family, where we are all 1.  I always say it’s  1 + 1 = 1 on Vorovoro.  On Vorovoro, we live and work together, create better lives together. "

Our partnership with BTG has enabled our program to have a meaningful and long term relationship with the Mali community....Currently we run over a dozen study abroad programs all over the world and this is by far the most immersive, transformational study abroad experience for our students.

CLAIRE WALTER
STUDY ABROAD STUDENT

“Though Fiji is a paradise, it deserves higher appreciation than that of a decadent tourist destination. Fiji is centered on rich culture, a fusion between the practices of indigenous Fijians and the migrated Europeans...I can’t help but miss Vorovoro’s simplicity and the rewards that come with fully earning what you have."
