I arrived in Uganda in January 2011 with my girlfriend Lauren through Inter Cultural Youth Exchange UK (ICYE) to work for UYWEFA, a small community-based organisation in Kazo, Wakiso District (a small village / suburb outside Kampala) and lived with a Ugandan family full-time for 6 months.
I then moved to Jinja for a year working as Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator for a youth-led development agency with staff and volunteers from all over Uganda and a few internationals.
I have now returned to live in the UK buy I met some of the most fantastic people in the world whilst in Uganda and I am continuing to work with UYWEFA. We are still fundraising for a community education centre for HIV/AIDS orphans and people still living with the disease. You can find out more at uywefa.org.
