My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteered with The Real Uganda for 2 weeks in Lugazi. I had a great experience! I had the chance to stay with a local family and work on the programs they developed in remote villages in Lugazi. Our activities were very diverse - gardening and doing crafts with the women in villages, building mud stoves, teaching kids in village schools, working with a youth group aiming to empower them with skills that could enable them to earn a living, helping remote government clinics with patient registrations and talking to visiting patients to create health awareness to name some! I stayed with a lovely Ugandan family who guided me along the way and was very hospitable. The Real Uganda was great in terms of managing expectations and also informed me on all details before my trip to Uganda. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to explore Uganda and be a part of village life with locals, exchange experiences and culture.
