Volunteer Work
For a life changing year abroad
I found Uganda as a result of Project Trust. I was sent as a volunteer to Bulenga, 7 miles outside of Kampala for one year. It was a life changing experience for a school leaver like me. I dread to think what kind of person I would have been if I had not met fellow like minded Project Crusties or emersed myself in a new culture.

Jon & Lauren's Blog
This well articulated and interesting blog follows the travels and experiences of two warm 20-somethings. I love Jon and Lauren's spot on and honest thoughts about Uganda and now Ireland. They post photos, short videos, stories about their daily life and not-so-daily adventures, and their views on what’s going on in the world.

What gives this travel advice website the edge over other similar sites is the informative articles about events, culture, charity and tourist attractions in Uganda; not to mention the lush photographs and a useful "what's on" guide.
