TV SERIES SEEKING MOMS FOR AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE
BBC Television and the Travel Channel are working on an exciting new series that will take 8 mothers from across the United States on a 7 week journey of discovery to Africa.
This will be a life-transforming vacation for these mothers to learn about each other, themselves and the African continent. The itinerary includes the countries of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia (but may expand further). The production is committed to the participants experiencing the real lives of African people and encountering the full diversity of the countries visited.
We are particularly interested in finding academic, student/graduate and non-profit sector moms who have an interest in Africa but have never had the chance to go.
Those chosen must be willing to give up all their commitments (family, work and home) for the 7 week period for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is a chance to explore the continent in a tailor-made, hands-on vacation and make a lifelong connection with 7 other amazing women.
Applicants must be between the ages of 21-55 and never have traveled outside the US, or have limited traveling
experience. These women should be prepared to be on TV, be outgoing and articulate and ready to take on a huge challenge.
If this isn't you, please take a moment to consider the dynamic women in your family, work circle or social life that would make great candidates (Aunties, teachers,
friends at co-workers!). Please feel free to forward this information to anyone, or any groups that would be excited by this prospect. We have a tight deadline and need all applications to be received by Thursday November 10th!
Please use the power of email to get your nominations responding ASAP.
