English Teaching in Rural school

English-speaking Ugandans are becoming in-demand resources. While English is spoken in some parts of Uganda, there is still a lack of quality English education for children. Improved English education is proving more and more vital due to the growing tourism industries in and around Uganda.

Volunteers working in this English-teaching project can make a meaningful contribution in the lives of local children by sharpening and honing their English skills. Improving these children's conversational English makes for a better future as well as helping them to compete and participate in the global market.

Airport Pick-up:

Upon the receipt of your flight information, our in-country coordinator or other project staff will greet the volunteers in the airport and take you to your project site. The address and telephone number of the local contact hotel will be given before departure just in case volunteers miss our representative in the airport. Please make sure to e-mail your flight information to both the USA office and the local in-country coordinator's office.

Departure Point:

Entebbe International Airport , Entebbe ( about 21 miles from the capital Kampala)

Airport Drop:

Rarely, a few do request an escort back to the airport; this is an extra expense of about $75.  Most are very familiar and comfortable with their stay and have great ease taking their own taxi or bus back to the airport.
