This was a wonderful eye opening place to experience the local culture and needs of Uganda. I volunteered at this school for 3 weeks and enjoyed every second of it. The kids were great and Paul, the host leader, took me on a Safari. Would definitely recommend for someone who desires perspectives on different parts of the globe! Priceless experience.

Dear Tariro, i felt so welcome to have you stay with us. You have so much given the definition of love . Which seems inborn. Your smile has shown it all , Your calmness has left a meditational medicine to the children and i can justify it from prisca every time calling you ''Mama ..mama '' hahaha.
