And, you will have an unique opportunity to make a difference in their lives for which they will be forever grateful. Upon your arrival at Entebbe, the international airport of Uganda, you will be met by a representative of the Uganda host coordinator. You will spend the rest of the day and evening overcoming jet lag at a conference center or tourist hotel in Kampala. During dinner you will get the opportunity to meet members of our Uganda host organization. The next morning, after breakfast and a short orientation, you will go to the local village about 160 km southwest of Kampala where you will meet the other volunteers and settle into your living quarters.
Volunteers live in a community home, dormitory-style.
There are no utilities in the village such as electricity, running water, etc. The house is secure and usually volunteers will have a private room. The house includes a private bathing area and volunteers are provided hot water each morning for bathing. All meals are prepared by local village women on outside open fires and consist of local African foods. All water is purified for drinking.
