UGANDA TRIPS
Uganda: January 11-21, 2023 and June 1-11, 2023
You are invited to join us as we partner with In the Garden Missions to show and share God's love in Uganda!
WHAT WILL WE DO?
On this trip to Uganda, we will serve alongside partners and volunteers from In the Garden Missions. Although all group activities are subject to change, here is a sample preview of the kinds of things we may do on the trip:
- Encourage children and youth by visiting schools and spending time with the kids
- Dedicate clean water wells in desperate villages
- Get our hands dirty doing construction projects
- Assist at medical clinics
- Help facilitate livestock distributions
As always, your safety is our priority. Our partners on the ground know and understand the language, country, and culture. They will always have your best interest in mind. We travel to and from locations by van or taxi as a group. Translators are available when needed.
