We’ve got some exciting updates about our 2017 visit to Uganda..

There are several reasons for these visits; first and foremost to introduce folk to a wonderful country and people. There will be the opportunity for teachers to visit several schools and get a feel for how education works in Uganda. It is also your chance to see our projects first hand and get to know our wonderful Ugandan partners, including the land recently purchased along the river Nile to the orphan project in eastern Uganda.

Date : leaving Friday May 26th – Monday June 5th
