Description
Hello Workawayers, I am Arthur and my wife is Alice. We run a nice 22-room guesthouse 10 minutes from the international airport in Entebbe Uganda.
We hope you can join our friendly team and experience the peacefulness of this place and the awesome landscapes. We have 15 local staff of which 6 are women.
The desired requirements are: that you speak English, are over 20 years and stay with us for 1-2 months minimum as volunteers supporting our little guesthouse gem.
We are ok with a solo volunteer or a couple. Workaway should come with their working updated laptop. We have a long-lasting friend from the Dominican Republic who will work with you and guide you with what is needed. She's on our profile photo and a great person to work with. You can also count on her to introduce you to her network and exploration of Uganda as she does tourism.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Sharing cultures allows us to become open and tolerant too new things. So, we see the benefits of cultural exchange as it provides opportunities to know other cultures which opens our eyes to different viewpoints and makes us empathetic toward people from other traditions. A great place to bond is during our bonfires and while working directly with staff.
