Life changing opportunity to make a real difference

I have traveled and volunteered with this school for seven years as the coordinator of a university study abroad program. During that time, I also was able to take my pre-teen children along. The hosts are flexible in designing opportunities that help you meet your specific service goals, challenge you to grow, and provide a chance for you to truly immerse yourself in the local culture. It quickly elevates from a service project to a shared experience, working alongside friends who have invited you into their homes and their lives.

The environment is safe as long as you follow common-sense traveler guidelines like don't flash cash around and don't walk alone at night. Your hosts are living out their life's passion to create a brighter future for the children they serve and that passion shines through in how they make you feel like an integral part of the pursuit of that dream.

The country itself is absolutely beautiful. Be sure to take advantage of opportunities to go on safari, raft the Nile, and eat new foods. The host is able to help you arrange any of those excursions and experiences which makes it one-stop-shopping for the experience of a lifetime.
