Mark Jordahl - Trip Leader
My philosophy around trip leading is simple: Set up interactions between North Americans and Ugandans and then get out of the way. While living in Uganda in 2004-2005 to do my fieldwork for my masters in Conservation Education, I was continually amazed by how wonderful the people of this country are. I started this company so that I could continue to provide the opportunity for others to immerse themselves in this rich culture. I am a naturalist and educator at heart, and bring both of these passions to bear on these trips. I have been doing group leading and facilitation for about 15 years now, and the trips I have led to Uganda stand out as some of the most life-changing both for myself and the participants. My wife (Devin Hibbard, co-founder of BeadforLife - www.beadforlife.org), our 2-year-old son Nile, and I will be moving back to Uganda in September of 2008 for an extended stay.
