Meet exciting culture and wildlife in Uganda and Kenya. You will join in running schools, agriculture, tourist projects and a unique football project in Kasese. Learn Creative and Proper Assistance!
You will work to provide orphans and poor children with good and safe education in Kasese – and Bwera on the border with Congo. You will experience the slums, photograph elephants, crocodiles, hippos, lions, buffaloes and a variety of antelopes in Uganda. It will be a tour of a wonderfully populous and lush country – among archaeologists called "the cradle of man".
On the exotic Muslim island of Lamu in Kenya – where cars have been replaced with donkeys – you get to sail on the local sailboats "dhows" at sunset, fish and experience a beautiful "hakuna matata" culture. There will be good encounters with the everyday life of Muslims – Swahili cuisine and language.
In Elverum we visit older people, help young refugees with inclusion in the local community, arrange activity days for hundreds of primary school students, have aid marathons.
