Travel to Uganda!! November 9 - 21, 2008
Have you dreamed of visiting Africa but wanted a more authentic experience than looking at it through the window of an air-conditioned bus? Do you want to connect, one-on-one, with people who are actively working to lift themselves out of poverty and ask them what their lives are like? Would you like to go on safari and then be able to talk to the locals about what the the park and wildlife conservation mean to them?
This trip is a chance to do all that and more. Through our partnership with
BeadforLife we are able to provide an unparalleled experience that will change your life and your way of looking at the world.
*Visit the BeadforLife village
*Go to a bead sale and meet the beaders
*Get an overview of the wholistic approach BeadforLife is using in Uganda
*Visit an AIDS clinic and find out what living with HIV means in Africa
In addition to this, we will spend four days on safari at Murchison Falls National Park seeing the amazing wildlife and finding out how conservation projects can also help fight poverty.
Because of our commitment to the environment, the trip cost also includes a carbon offset for your air travel.

This is not a luxury trip, so be prepared to dive into the real Uganda! We will have modest but comfortable accommodations, eat local food and have opportunities to see the diverse lifestyles of the Ugandan people. Evenings will be a time to debrief about our experience, share stories, and reflect. Come prepared for a group experience—including living, eating and traveling with the other trip members. Flexibility is a must as we interact with the Ugandan culture and embrace a slower pace, new languages and the unexpected joys of traveling in another country.
