Freedom & independence
The Ugandans you meet will change you. They will show you love and wisdom. The things you discover about yourself in Uganda will stay with you forever.

Overall my three months in India were unforgettable, just so different and better than what I expected.
Two mile walk to school surrounded by the children from the school curious as ‘to who we were and where we came from’ and two miles of incredible mountain views that we never tired of.
From our introductory moments until our final farewells a day in Nepal never ceased to amaze or touch me.
We’d spent our three months teaching English to various classes now and actually we’d only just got back from three weeks backpacking around the country.
It was with a swirling mixture of excitement and sadness that we boarded the Kenya Airways flight back to Heathrow but we all concluded that the slog of work had been totally worth it. We had made life long friends, seen so much and not wasted a minute of those 5 months.
Kamau always sat at the back of the class. He was taller than the others and never took part in class discussions.
When leaving you really feel like you have helped both the children and the school to gain skills and experiences that they never would have had to opportunity to enjoy without your help, as well as looking great on your CV, and doing something that’s a bit different than the standard gap year experience.
