Review for Global Backpack Project, Portland, OR, USA
I am from the US but live and work in Uganda. Part of my job here is acting as Organizational Capacity Builder for a local Community Development Organization here called Butakoola Village Association for Development (BUVAD). BUVAD works in central Uganda in a very neglected rural area. We made a partnership with one of the local primary schools and then with GBP.
Our experience with GBP could not be better. Our efforts are ongoing and we have recently completed the first phase of the project. Part of that first phase resulted in enabling over 100 kids to return to school. GBP are flexible, dedicated, attentive, great communicators and determined to see the project through.
GBP are worthy of any efforts that can be made in their behalf.
