Questions? Call us: 1-866-549-7614
Join a group of like-minded volunteers on a Intrepid (MAD) make a difference project to experience and contribute to daily life in a rural village. Working in partnership with grassroots NGOs in the area, this 28 day project focuses on primary education. Schools are over-crowded and lack proper facilities as there is no government funding to add new classrooms putting the burden on the community and parents. Split your time between a building project and teaching at a local school. Working alongside local builders, staying in the community and spending time with the kids, you'll become an essential part of the community. Take part in a unique experience where you can really Make A Difference to a Ugandan community.
