Volunteering Projects in Uganda Tour 2012

Volunteer Feedback from Uganda Tour 2012

Linda

"The townspeople are very welcoming. They are getting used to Muzungu folk at this stage and are usually eager to say hello. And the children-be it in your school or on the street-you just want to bring them all their Christmases at once. They are eager, adorable and genuinely unspoilt in their nature and they can dance like no one you know.

As soon as we applied, the correspondence and guidance kept coming and even when nothing was actually required anyway and it was just the countdown to take off, there was still communication in the way of 'how are you getting on' which is very reassuring to have. GVN is a serious business and although they get the job done, it’s not without the personal touch -- a great combination."

Uganda is a beautiful country in all aspects – the people, the landscape, and the rich culture all made our month there the most amazing experience.  There are many diverse volunteer projects scattered across the country, all of which are committed to making positive, sustainable change for Ugandans and their environment.

The support on the ground is fantastic, and any question we had was answered with knowledge and enthusiasm. If you are looking for a place to volunteer in any area from HIV/AIDS support to education, Uganda is an unbeatable country.  The work is challenging and satisfying on so many levels, and the people and cultural vitality is unparalleled.
