A Missions Internship with 2 Seconds Or Less is not easy. Many days will be spent out at the school swinging heavy African tools and hoeing the hard packed earth. Transportation involves riding in the back of a truck bed, or long bike rides. You will be required to attend daily Shona lessons and be quizzed on your progress. Our days will start early and end late. You'll be asked to take initiative, to sacrifice your pride and self for the well-being of others, and to let go of your first world standards for the duration of the trip. We do this because when we step foot on Zimbabwean soil, we count it our duty to speak, travel, eat, dress, and work like a Zimbabwean. This is how we earn respect in their culture and open the door for sharing our love for Christ.
Tickets will be bought from Dulles airport in Washington D.C. If you are applying long-distance, be sure to factor in the extra price for transportation to Washington D.C.
You will be staying in dormitory housing. Warm showers (most of the time) and clean water will be provided. We will be cooking over a fire for most of our meals. All of these costs are included in the trip price.
We will be in Zimbabwe in the heart of the infamous rainy season. Expect very wet, hot days. You will be provided with a packing list that will help you to plan accordingly.
