One week language and culture program offers volunteers an opportunity to learn more about life in Uganda before they begin their volunteer projects. The program is designed for volunteers who want to immerse themselves with their project and complete their work successfully. Through this program, volunteers will learn about Uganda by familiarizing themselves with the local language, where you’ll learn basic phrases and verbs that are commonly used by Ugandans in their daily life. You’ll also learn about local culture and traditions and become involved in sightseeing tour.
