This summer I will be taking a trip to Uganda with a non-profit organization by the name of Come, Let's Dance. While in Uganda, we will be serving the community of Kampala by volunteering to help restore the seven major issues people face on a daily basis. This includes having access to food, healthcare, safe-housing and security, education, teaching sustainability, family empowerment and completing restoration which will allow these things to be sustainable.
The summer trip is based on immersion. Immersion is a powerful word, and a difficult thing, but it’s incredibly valuable. Only by living with the people, like the people, can you truly engage them on their level and earn enough respect to work together with them, and help bring them out of poverty. While in Uganda, we’ll be serving hands on, getting messy, doing whatever’s needed at each of the projects. That might be a medical clinic in the slums, teaching a class or helping with science experiments at the school. Or it could be weeding or helping harvest at their farm.
Come Let's Dance has been partnered with the same Ugandan Leaders for the last five years starting and developing projects with the end goal of self-sustainability within their community.
This is about everything we stand for. The need and want to help others and do whatever we can to make a difference in other people’s lives.
The money that is raised goes directly to the travel costs and to the non-profit to help continue the progress and help they are doing there.
