Uganda (MAD) Project - 42 days

Itinerary

Day 1 Entebbe/Rural Project

After meeting with your group for the first time, swap the busy streets of Entebbe for the rural roads of the countryside. Catch glimpses the majestic White Nile and Lake Victoria on the way. Your new home is in a village not far from Jinja and you'll be welcomed there by community representatives.

Day 2 Village

Don't forget to take a photo of the building site as you explore the village - it won't look like this for long!

Days 3-14 Teaching and Building

Spend your days swapping between building and teaching at the school. Take time out to munch of fresh local fruit, chat with the foreman to learn some of the local lingo and spend your afternoons relaxing or exploring the surrounding valleys and banana plantations.

Days 15-27 Cultural Development

As you get to know the community and its needs, there's time to create side projects. Play sports with the kids or join the adults in their cooperative groups, teaching them English or learning traditional dances and weaving. After getting to know the community you may find a need for AIDs education, a recycling program or even art classes.

Days 28-41 Local Expert

The building will really be coming along now and you will really feel a part of the local community. Take the time to visit the families of those you work alongside and be sure to spend time playing with the kids you teach during the day.

Day 42 Entebbe

Your project is now over and it's time to celebrate your hard work and new friendships before returning to Entebbe.
