"Let me be clear: the visitor pays his or her own way, entirely. But the costs are, in perspective, pretty modest for what one receives and the people I dealt with at TATS and elsewhere were unfailingly and scrupulously honest about money."

Mission Statement: TATS' mission is to defy the existent global academic imbalance by availing first class education to the worlds' most marginalized students by infusing the third world with western world teachers at all levels.

Our Objective: Teach And Tour Sojourners, TATS, is a teacher exchange program for all educators ranging from elementary school to university level world-wide. It is TATS' primary goal to provide this unique service to all participating educators at the lowest cost to them or their sending institutions, seeing that teachers are, unfortunately, underpaid the world over to begin with. Through TATS, the unprivileged rural and urban kids of the world, such as those in sub-Sahara Africa, get to sit under the tutorage of the world's best teachers from Europe, North America, and other parts of the world at no cost to them, thanks to these western sacrificing TATS. The driving force behind these TATS is the keen realization that our world will function better tomorrow if no student is left behind academically, and that fine education makes a difference.
