(Uganda Map>>)During the working week you will be living in a rural village house or school close to your project.

Your volunteering project could involve:

• Constructing, repairing or improving village schools, health facilities and buildings. Without your help and financial support such work would not be possible.
• Helping village farmers in their daily chores
• Helping village children at home and at school.
• Coaching or organising village sports.

Your mini gap year will end with five days of safaris in Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara!  Then you can either climb Mt Kenya followed by some relaxation and recovery on the Tana river or head off to the Coast and enjoy some golden beaches on the Indian Ocean - you choose! 

Finally, you will spend your final  night, as a group, back in Nairobi.  We will arrange for you to visit the Elephant Orphanage and the largest B-B-Q in Africa, and do some final shopping before heading off to the airport.
