Ggolo, Uganda

Expedition Information

The Experiences

Uganda is known as the Pearl of Africa.  It has one of the best climates in the world and English is the official language.  It has 10 National Parks, 12 Wildlife Reserves, and 14 Wildlife Sanctuaries.  Ggolo is a small impoverished village located on the banks of Lake Victoria. 

Trip participants flew to the Entebbe International Airport (IATA: EBB).  On this expedition,  participants carried out the following service in activities:

  • Working with local villagers to clean up rubbish and give an educational class on sanitation
  • Improve the local school
  • Organize and participate in sports activities with local village children
  • Work alongside villagers to improve the local government operated clinic, and then present information about nutrition, healthy living, and avoiding diseases
  • Visit HIV/AIDS patients in their homes and provide service to them

Expeditions included educational, environmental and cultural excursions during the evenings and weekends, including a trip to Jinja to see the Source of the Nile and a visit to a crocodile farm.

Participants stayed in the village of Ggolo, Uganda.  This is a very poor village, and the accommodations are very basic.  Limited running water and electricity are available.
