Description
Hello! My name is Samalie, and I live in Jinja, Uganda. I run a small home daycare, where I care for children aged 6 months – 5 years. I love teaching, creating a warm environment for kids, and helping them learn through play, music, and art.
I live in a big compound with gardens, fruit trees, and space for children to play. Volunteers can help with simple activities like playing with the kids, storytelling, making crafts, helping with meals, or organizing toys.
I love meeting new people from around the world and sharing our culture, food, and language. In your free time, you can explore the Nile River, local markets, or nearby attractions.
I look forward to meeting kind, responsible, and fun volunteers who love working with children and want to experience real Ugandan life.
