My experience with Uganda Volunteers Foundation was amazing. I spent the best time of my life in this city meeting the most wonderful people, eating and drinking at the most fantastic restaurants and bars, exploring countless activities in and outside the city, and helping at one exceptional school. As a teacher, I was able to gain new teaching skills, shadow during my class times, participate in sports and games, helped and eventually loved every bit, and learnt about a completely different education system than my own. The vulnerable children I spent my time with were extremely welcoming, happy though needy. When i wasn’t teaching, I was taking advantage of the many attractions Uganda has to offer, with tons of help from Uganda Volunteers Foundation. The program coordinators helped us with everything I got to know amazing people from all over the world and made lifelong memories and friendships. Uganda allowed me to adventure more than I ever have before. I cannot imagine a more fun and interesting place to volunteer or a better program than Uganda Volunteers Foundation.
