Program Highlights:

Basically, we would want volunteers who are willing to interact with poor hopeless children we have in our registry, (over 100), give them hope and teach them basics of life. We also have contacts with other schools that a volunteer can teach, basing on the traditional teaching of Uganda, which is based on memorization and passing of exams. School terms vary annually but are likely to be: Feb 1 to April 15, May 20 to August 20, Sept 20 to November 30. We also work with village-based boarding schools.

Teaching needy and orphaned kids has serious challenges and needs volunteers who are open to local teaching methods but still able to bring creativity and fun into the classroom. You are the outside world to these kids. Schools have a basic curriculum, but you'll be planning your own lessons daily. While there is a language barrier, by volunteering you can introduce creative writing, drawing, debate, and life skills into the classroom.

All volunteers coming to Entebbe Town will live together in an enclosed fenced bungalow. Justine is there to take care of you. You will be given 3 meals of local Ugandan food per day. This consists of matooke (mashed plantain), posho (cornmeal- like polenta), potatoes and rice. Since we have so many vegetarians in our midst, we generally serve these with beans or peas. You'll be happy to get fish or meat once a week. Bread, eggs and fruits are served at breakfast.
