Interested in traveling?
You don't have to decide today.
Maybe something you saw stayed with you.
A story. A face. A moment in one of our films.
Or maybe Rwanda has been on your heart for a while, and you’re wondering whether this might be your time to go
.
You don’t have to be certain.
Curious is enough to begin.
start with a conversation
We can answer these questions for you.
What is it actually like?
Where will we stay?
What will we do?
How physically demanding is it?
What if I’ve never traveled internationally?
How do I prepare?
What did previous travelers wish they had known?
We'd rather have an honest conversation with you than rush you into a registration form.
Tell us you're interested.
This isn't an application or a commitment.
Tell us a little about yourself and which experience you're considering. Someone from our team will follow up and start the conversation.
talk with someone who's been there
Sometimes you just want to hear it from a traveler.
We can tell you about the itinerary.
But sometimes what you really want to know is:
What did it feel like?
That's why prospective travelers can talk with an HSA Ambassador who has experienced Rwanda with us.
Ask about the people.
The food.
The accommodations.
The village.
The emotions.
The unexpected moments.
The things that don't fit neatly into a brochure.
No sales pitch. Just a real conversation.
what happens next?
One step at a time.
01
Tell us you're interested.
Complete a short interest form. This isn't an application, and it doesn't commit you to a trip.
02
Let's talk.
We'll learn a little about you, answer your questions, and help you understand the experience you're considering.
03
Take time to decide.
Pray about it. Talk with your family. Consider the timing and financial commitment. Ask more questions if you need to.
There is no pressure to move forward.
04
Ready? Apply.
When you're ready to pursue a specific HSA experience, we'll invite you to complete the appropriate application.
05
We'll review everything together.
Because our experiences involve international travel, community relationships, team dynamics, and, in some cases, children, participation isn't automatic. We want to make sure the experience is appropriate for both the traveler and the team.
06
Confirm your place.
Once accepted, you'll receive the information needed to officially confirm your participation, including trip dates, costs, payment schedule, required documents, and important deadlines.
07
Then we prepare together.
This is where the journey really begins.
more than a packing list
We prepare your heart, too.
Before you travel, HSA will walk with you through preparation for the experience.
We'll talk about Rwanda. Culture. Travel logistics. Health and safety. Team expectations.
Photography and storytelling. Giving and healthy boundaries. Faith. Service. Dignity.
And what it means to enter someone else's community as a guest.
You'll know what to pack. But more importantly, you'll understand how we show up.
Still just thinking about it?
That's okay. Watch the films again. Read the stories. Pray. Ask questions. Talk with someone who's been there.
You don't have to manufacture a yes.
If this journey is for you, we'll help you take the next step when you're ready.
