  Description

  Hello, my name is Godfrey, I work with a non profit Community based and child focused organization found in Rakai District Uganda. I lead a group of professionals who are committed to improve the well being of less fortunate children and their families.
  I am married to Gorreth with three boys, our home is located in a village which is 3kms from the nearby town, 28kms from a bigger town and 148kms from Kampala which is the capital city of Uganda. As a family we love making friends and sharing experiences.
  
  We are community based and child focused. Our passion is to improve the lives of poorest children through education support, healthcare and nutrition, child protection and advocacy. We work together with private and government aided schools, churches and other partner organizations. It is evident that the time we have hosted volunteers, our children both at home and at school have improved their English speaking skills, critical thinking, creative writing and multiple competencies in class. Parents and care givers have also learnt transferable skills that improve their well being and protection of their children. Through our approach (holistic development approach) children will experience a better today and brighter tomorrow. Kindly join us for this cause.
  
  You don't need any qualification to volunteer here, all we need is people with the passion and wiliness to help people who are less fortunate than themselves, however some activities require qualified people in a specific field. I am looking for like minded people of different categories that include teachers, nurses, social workers, architects, fund-raisers, psychologists, book writers, child protection and human rights advocates and those with skills that include environmental management and protection, community and women empowerment, spiritual nurture, rural economic development and early childhood development. Volunteers are needed throughout the year.
  Working with us is an excellent opportunity to combine adventurous foreign travel with a worthwhile job as a volunteer. You will improve your transferable skills such as planning, team-working, presentation, communication and rural development. Above all, this is an unrivaled opportunity to gain an insight into a completely different culture and way of life.
  
  We can host intern students from different parts of the World. Our activities are so practical to enable students develop hands on experience of how non government organizations operate.
  You can also come and spend your holiday here in a more meaningful way as we share different experiences that will enrich your skills.
  
  Duration of the stay can be discussed with any one interested. Our community people and children are so welcoming and friendly. We have a beautiful weather, anyone can easily adjust to it. Volunteers will have a chance to visit different places here and learn more about our culture and the environment. Expect to have lots of fun with us. Have you ever crossed the equator? Expect this on your first day in Uganda.
  
  If not interested in the above, we can host you as a family. We want to meet new people and make new friends in different parts of the World. Come and teach us English, we also desire to learn different languages. We are so out going friendly and God fearing.

  Purchasing visa upon arrival at Entebbe airport.
  1. Once you have disembarked the aircraft, and entered the terminal, join the immigration line
  2. Present your passport along with $50.00 (US) or £60. Your passport will be stamped with a three-month visa. For more than three month seek details from Ugandan embassy.

If you have US Dollars then only accept large denomination notes of $50 or $100 all the small notes get a lower rate of exchange, and they must be printed after 2007.

  Male visitors should plan to bring trousers and button-up shirts.

  What's this?

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Working and living in a new country and within an unfamiliar culture provides a great experience for all volunteers and interns. Cultural exchange often involves adapting and learning about a new environment, and this flexibility is a helpful skill for our participants before, during and after the Work & Travel program.
  
  One of the best features of cultural exchange programs is the chance to make new friends for a lifetime.
  
  Continued connection to the host families act as cultural ambassadors to our volunteers, introducing international visitors to Uganda culture during their time as. After experiencing life in the Uganda volunteers may be more likely to return to Uganda.
  
  The cultural exchange will provide the opportunity for volunteers to develop a greater understanding of diversity. Volunteers will interact with and learn from people who are different from themselves and participate in new and unique experiences beyond their own communities. Cultural exchange assists our volunteers to develop positive relationships with others, understand a broader range of perspectives, and develop the knowledge and skills needed for participation in our multicultural society.

  Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

  In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allow this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteer‘s stay.  (This will be clearly marked on the host listing).
  We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents, “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.
